<p>Carrying and birthing your baby is an inherently physical, and dang-near athletic event - and there are ways we can prepare our bodies to have the best chance at a smooth, simple, uncomplicated birth experience. This is the work of highly experienced doula, Krisha Crosley of Train for Birth. Today on the show, Krisha and I talk about the idea of training for birth, and how the parents she's coached over the years have an average first-time birth length of only 8 hours. That's - FAST. She discusses how modern human movement is a disservice when it comes to birth, and how we can counteract this truth with intentional daily movement. She offers several resources to parents - and some are even free. Have a listen and get inspired to work with your baby and your body to bring them across that birthing finish line - here we go! </p><p><br><br><b>This episode is sponsored by:</b> Active Skin Repair and Needed >></p><p>Active Skin Repair: <a href="https://shop.bldgactive.com/discount/HEALTHYMOTHER">Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 20%.</a></p><p>Needed Supplements: <a href="https://www.thisisneeded.com/discount/HEALTHYASAMOTHER?rfsn=7639741.9dd2315&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=7639741.9dd2315%20(https://www.thisisneeded.com/discount/HEALTHYASAMOTHER?rfsn=7639741.9dd2315&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=7639741.9dd2315)">Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 20% off your first order.</a></p><p><br><br></p><p><b>Stay Connected With Our Guest:</b></p><p>Find all of <a href="https://trainforbirth.com/workshops/">Krisha's offerings, here!</a></p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/serenitylifedoula/">Krisha on Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><b>Stay Connected With Us:</b></p><p>Healthy As A Mother: <a href="https://www.healthyasamother.com/">www.healthyasamother.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/healthy.as.a.mother">@healthy.as.a.mother</a></p><p>Dr. Leah: <a href="https://www.womanhoodwellness.com/">www.womanhoodwellness.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drleahgordon">@drleahgordon</a></p><p>Dr. Morgan: <a href="https://www.milkmedicine.com/">www.milkmedicine.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/morganmacdermott/">@morganmacdermott</a></p>
