S2, Ep15: Our second birth: How we achieved a profoundly different experience with Lindsay and Matt McCoy
On this episode Matt and I chat about our second birth and what a different birth experience it was. Have you ever had an experience that altered the course of your life so deeply and profoundly that you knew your life would not be the same without it? Our first birth wasn’t the experience we’d hoped for. And after this birth, in our own ways, we became obsessed with figuring out why and what could be done differently.
Matt, as my birth partner, dived into research to learn more about how he could actively support a birth better. I really got into reading and learning more about pregnancy and birth and how I could incorporate my background in exercise science into it.
This led us to make very different choices for our 2nd birth experience two and a half years later, which led to a profoundly different experience. An experience so deep and profound, an experience so autonomous and empowering, that it altered the entire course of our lives. This was the birth that led me to step fully into my power as a birth worker.
I thought I was leaving exercise science and my job as an exercise physiologist behind… little did I know that I would someday combine the two to create what is now known as the Body Ready Method®.
Listen in on this episode to hear what the McCoy’s did differently and how these choices altered our lives forever! There are a few tips and tricks you can take into your next birth or your next client’s birth that may just make the difference in the type of birth you experience.
