About this episode

Nina Spears shares insights on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care for new and expecting mothers.

Nina Spears, aka The Baby Chick, joins The Mom Room this week to share her wealth of knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Nina, a child birth and newborn care educator, shares the things she thinks first time moms misunderstand about labor and delivery, and what's often overlooked. As someone who has attended more than 350 child births, Nina knows that planning for birth extends to so much more than what's packed in the hospital bag. Expecting mothers need to prepare their minds, bodies, and partners for this new chapter in life. She stresses more than anything the importance of having healthy and happy moms. Focusing on holding the mother makes for a better world because when mothers are good, households are good, and when households are good, communities are good. This episode is for any new moms, expecting moms, and partners who want to learn about the journey of matrescence. Give yourself grace, you are going to make mistakes, but the most important thing is to be confident in your decisions and boundaries. Check out Nina's new book Positive Pregnancy down below!
