Making your birth plan your own with Dr. Cheney

In this episode of the Heal Your Hormones podcast, I’m joined with Dr. Cheney Daniel, a family chiropractor and doula who specializes in the pregnancy and pediatric population, to discuss what is and isn’t required during pregnancy and hospital births. There are often more choices than women are lead to believe.

We cover a wide range of topics including:

• When to reach out to a doula

• What the first visit with a doula looks like

• What happens during a birth plan meeting

• What might not be negotiable, especially in a hospital setting

• Mother’s preferences on pain management, movement, lighting, monitoring, informed consent, pushing, and where and what position to birth

• Delayed cord clamping

• Cervical checks

• Breaking waters

• Birthing the placenta

• Placenta encapsulation

• C-Sections

• Her experience with an epidural

• What is needed after baby is born
