Birth Story 52: Allegra's Hospital Induction & Unmedicated Vaginal Twin Birth

In this episode of the MamasteFit Podcast Birth Story Fridays, Allegra shares her empowering journey of having an unmedicated vaginal birth with twins after an induction in a hospital setting. With detailed insights into her prenatal nutrition, including the emphasis on electrolytes, and the physical preparation involving yoga and chiropractic care, Allegra describes how she managed to avoid medical interventions as well as physical discomforts typically associated with twin births.  Despite the challenging aspects that were not quite what she had envisioned for her birth, such as an induction with Pitocin and the requirement to deliver in the OR, Allegra's story highlights the importance of preparation, advocacy, and supportive care.  Postpartum, Allegra shares her strategies for managing twin newborns alongside two older children, emphasizing the necessity of intentional planning and asking for help. The episode wraps up with insights for other expectant twin mothers on how to prepare for both birth and postpartum recovery effectively. 00:00 Introduction to Birth Story Fridays 01:14 Meet Allegra: Preparing for Pregnancy and Birth 01:30 Nutrition and Wellness During Pregnancy 07:46 Labor and Delivery: Allegra's Twin Birth Experience 19:29 Postpartum Journey with Twins 26:57 Advice for Expecting Mothers of Twins 33:00 Allegra's Professional Insights and Resources 35:22 Conclusion and Additional Resources Check Out Allegra’s Links Here!: Free Mineral Mocktail: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/y9a3e8 Beyond Birth Postpartum Nutrition Course: http://education.aloha-nutrition.com/beyond-birth Instagram: aloha.nutrition: https://www.instagram.com/aloha.nutrition/ Website: https://www.aloha-nutrition.com/ Pre-Order Training for Two on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3VOTdwH —— This podcast is sponsored by Needed, a nutrition company focused on optimal nourishment for your perinatal journey. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code MAMASTEPOD for 20% off your first order or three months of subscription.⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ****Freebies***** Early postpartum recovery course:  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/early-postpartum-recovery-guide/  Pp sample  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/postpartum-fitness-guide/ Prenatal Sample:  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prenatal-fitness-program-guide/ Pelvic Floor  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prepare-your-pelvic-floor-for-labor/ Birth Prep for Labor Guide  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prepare-for-labor-guide/ Birth Partner Guide  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/birth-partner-guide/ Birth Plan  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/birth-plan-guide/
