ANECDOTE

Calm Preparation Vs. Partner Panic

  • Lauryn woke up prepared, did a meditation, packed minimal essentials and brought icicle pads, an ice roller, Kindle, and a Barefoot Dreams blanket to feel at home at the hospital.
  • Michael panicked and overpacked with novelty items while Lauryn stayed calm and focused on the birth vibe.
ADVICE

Use Epidural If It Helps You Relax

  • Lauryn chose an epidural for pain management and relaxation during labor and recommends balancing non-toxic preferences with practical choices.
  • She treats epidural use like anesthesia for surgery: it helps her stay calm and facilitates a calmer delivery.
ANECDOTE

Epidural Partial Failure And Breathing Through It

  • Despite an epidural, Lauryn felt intense pain because the epidural failed to numb her stomach area, so she used Wim Hof breathing and dissociation to cope.
  • Michael suggested re-dosing the epidural, but Lauryn persisted with breathing and mental techniques instead.
