38. Pain Management Strategies For Labor With Birth Doula Elizabeth Joy

The Expecting and Empowered Podcast

Jul 26 2023 • 42 mins

Liz Sandoz, a practicing doula, is on the podcast this week! She is a mom of two with a third on the way and has her own podcast; Morning Chava. Liz talks with us about why she loves births so much and why she is passionate about being a part of the birthing experience.


The role of a doula can be confusing to some. Liz explains what a doula does in the delivery room and what the difference between a midwife and a doula is. She also talks about how her perspective as a doula has changed since she herself has become a mom.


Pain management is something we all have questions around. We often think the only option we have is an epidural. Liz shares other pain management options and talks about her favorite strategies when one of her clients is going into labor.


If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag both @expectingandempowered and @esandoz. Our goal is to give you free education on all the options you have during childbirth so the more people that can be exposed to this episode, the better!
