Ep. 424 Leedia Riman: After Birth

“We are not a culture that waits for anything, nor are we believers in normal birth; waiting for a baby can feel like insanity.”



This is a powerful quote from an article that had a profound impact on Matthew and me.



The article is about the “in between” stage of the last days of pregnancy before moving into birth, a period that the author of the article calls zwischen (pulling from the German word for “between” - fitting huh?). You can find the article here: https://www.mothering.com/threads/the-last-days-of-pregnancy-a-place-of-in-between.1619798/



In this episode, Matthew and I talk about our own experience with the “between,” being that we are technically past our “due date.” We share how this is a beautiful time to practice patience, surrender, and enjoy the moments that we have together before moving into the roles of parents for the first time. We also acknowledge, however, that it can seem excruciating - like you’re walking around waiting for a timer to go off that you really have no control or knowledge of its plans.



We share some examples of things and situations that have helped us stay patient and present, as well as things that have driven us a little nutty. All in preparation for our magical home birth and days to follow it.

How to Create the Biggest Shifts in Your Wellbeing - Dr. Michelle Robin

There’s a saying that goes, “You don’t know what you don’t know,” and this is especially true when it comes to prepping for birth. If you aren’t informed about the different options for your birth, then how can you be expected to make the most informed decisions in your birth! Today, we’ll be diving into the key differences between a hospital-led childbirth education class and an independent-led childbirth education class.



In this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, I am joined by Ceridwen Morris. Ceridwen is an author, childbirth educator and doula who has supported thousands of expectant parents in New York City for over twenty years. She is the author of the forthcoming How to Give Birth (Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 2025). Morris served on the board of The Childbirth Education Association of Metropolitan New York for five years, and ran the education program at Tribeca Pediatrics for ten years. She has taught at Real Birth, City Births, NYC Birth Prep and Prenatal Yoga Center.



As you give this episode a listen, I hope it inspires you to bring questions to your care provider that explore how the birthing experience can be tailored to your preferences, versus you having to conform to hospital policies and protocols. Enjoy this informative episode!

The Problem with Hospital Childbirth Education Classes with Ceridwen Morris

In this down-to-earth episode of the Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy sits down with nervous system expert Sarah Tacy to explore how healing and regulating our nervous systems can transform both our parenting and personal lives. Sarah, who brings a wealth of knowledge from her work with Kate Northrup's program, shares how finding balance within ourselves is the key to guiding our kids with more patience and love.



Wendy kicks things off by sharing her own journey of transformation under Sarah's guidance, showing how slowing down and finding inner peace has changed her life in incredible ways. The conversation flows into practical, relatable advice, like understanding the "thermostat" vs. "thermometer" analogy—how parents can set a calm tone in their homes that naturally helps kids feel secure and behave better.



Sarah also dives into navigating tricky situations like double binds and the sacred third, offering simple exercises to help parents release tension and create a more relaxed, harmonious environment. Together, Wendy and Sarah unpack how familiar patterns can either hold us back or set the stage for healthier, happier families. If you’re looking for real, actionable tips on becoming a more grounded, compassionate parent, this episode is a must-listen!
