A first-time mom shares her experience delivering her baby in a birth center without drugs for pain management. We discuss what it's like to work with a midwife for all of her prenatal care, how she faced her fears about giving birth, how she's learning to communicate with her partner during the postpartum period and something that every mom who plans to breastfeed should know. This episode also covers how to deal with postpartum hair loss and what to expect the first time you use the bathroom after giving birth.
