This week, we asked our Labor Doulas what they recommend moms listen to while in labor. Here`s what they said!
More thoughts from me (Katie)...I`ve supported moms who listened to their Hypnobabies tracks from start to finish, moms who danced their hearts out in early labor trying to get baby to move lower into the pelvis, & moms who quietly relaxed in the tub while listening to incredibly peaceful music. Whatever you decide to listen to, PRACTICE relaxing or grooving to your music while you`re still pregnant. It will help your brain remember what to do when you`re actually in labor!

I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to Caitlin from TogetHER for recording an interview with me last night. The video will be used in doula trainings but I wanted to share this amazing organization with YOU! If you`re not already following TogetHER, check out their upcoming free events for moms with babies/kids of any age. Their mission and vision for moms supporting moms in our community is incredible.
