Pursuit of Wellness · Home or Hospital Birth? Samantha Christine’s Unfiltered Journey · 11 Aug 2025 podcast

Because I kind of have...

like similar views on it because I learned a lot just from this podcast, having people tell me about Pitocin and it is quite like a societal norm to push women to give birth sooner than they maybe are ready to.

Exactly.

But then going through IVF and being on the super medical side of it, my doctor's like, please just go the medical route, like keep things safe.

But yeah,

In me, I feel this like want to have a natural experience.

That is such a good point because I, so I got a doula and she's amazing.

Yeah, she's great, but she's for sure heavily on the holistic side.

Okay.

And I, for my first birth, I want to land somewhere in the middle.

I was going to say, how do you feel about it?

I see myself doing a hospital birth for sure.

I'm not super anti-epidural, but I would love to avoid Pitocin if I can.

I just want to understand the options and like educate myself about each thing that they're using.

But she at the beginning was very much like pushing me towards one way.

And I think it is important, even if you respect the doula and their views to kind of have your own voice in it too and be able to kind of like

advocate for yourself without shame or guilt yes because i tend to be a bit more of a people pleaser and i'm like same you know what i yeah i'm like oh that sounds nice like we can do it that way but i this is the one thing where i'm like i really need to be sure of what i'm doing and i still i'm not 100 sure of what i want to do

That, yeah, that one freaks me out a little bit.

I have, but I think back then when I wasn't pregnant, I wasn't as tuned in and I need to go back and actually listen.

I've talked to so many people at this point and they all are so smart and have so much information.
