Episode 3: Protecting Your Peace In The Final Weeks Of Pregnancy

• show notes

  🎙 Welcome back to The Birth Generation Podcast!

  In this episode, “Protecting Your Peace in the Final Weeks of Pregnancy,” we’re talking about something so many expecting parents underestimate—how your mindset, environment, and boundaries in the last stretch before birth can set the stage for a smoother, more empowered experience.

  Whether you’re feeling excited, antsy, or straight-up over it (we see you, 39-week mamas), this conversation will help you create a calm, supportive atmosphere that lets your body and mind ease into labor on your own terms.

  In this episode, you’ll learn:

  ✨ Why protecting your peace isn’t just self-care—it’s a biological necessity.
  (Think: oxytocin, the love hormone that fuels labor progress, bonding, and calm.)

  🫶 How to solidify connection with your partner so you feel grounded and truly supported when birth begins.

  🌿 Ways to create an oxytocin-rich environment—from warm lighting and soft music to cuddles, massage, and gentle movement.

  🛑 Common stressors and last-minute pressures (like constant “Have you had the baby yet?” texts) and how to set clear, loving boundaries.
