Sarah —better known as the "Labor Junkie RN"— is a practicing high-risk labor nurse, social media influencer, and mom of three.  You may have seen her on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook sharing evidence-based insights on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.  She often ends reels with "For more information on pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum, give me a follow and check out my page".  So, we did—and invited her to share her wisdom with you in this special podcast episode.  As a nurse and mom of three who chose unmedicated births, Sarah brings a unique perspective to the low-intervention birth experience. In this podcast, we talk to her about her choices and tips for others if they plan to have low- intervention births. But she's quick to remind us, she thinks the right choice for birthing families is the choice they make, and hopes we remember that birth is not a competition. Everyone should make their own choices.   Listen and Learn:  Why Sarah decided to make reels for social media—and how she keeps it going  Her passion for informed consent and education  Why she attended a birth class with her husband even though she was already an OB nurse   How planning ahead helps families achieve their birth goals  How she supports her patients in labor specific to their birth plan  When and how parents can ask to change to a nurse who supports their goals in labor  How a doula or other trained labor support person can make a difference  What a difference it can make to stay home in early labor on outcomes  Why she chose not to be induced  How exercise, yoga, and good nutrition helped her through her births  Resources & Mentions:  tiktok.com/@labor_junkie_rn  instagram.com/labor_junkie_rn   facebook.com/LaborJunkieRN   youtube.com/@labor_junkie_rn  Related Products from InJoy:  Understanding Birth  Understanding Natural Childbirth Techniques eClass  Stages of Labor  Pain Management for Childbirth, Volume 1: Comfort Techniques  Related Blogs and Podcasts from InJoy:  Blog: Tips for Teaching a Childbirth Class: Introducing the TENS Unit as a Labor Comfort Measure  Podcast: Spinning Babies – Comfort in Pregnancy and Easier Births with Gail Tully
