To kick off this third and final episode in the Vagus Nerve podcast series we are discussing how the vagus nerve applies to the prenatal period.

In this episode I chat with Carrie Rigoni from @drcarrierigoni about:

• How to prepare your vagus nerve for birth
• How the vagus nerve explains why women respond differently to birth trauma, pregnancy stress and the post-partum period
• How the vagus nerve helps you to feel safe and this is why women need different environments to birth in, which is helpful in validating the different choices women will make around birth
• Laura shares a vulnerable journal entry about her recent parenting challenges and how this work is really pertinent in her life right now

I’d love to know what you thought of this episode, jump over to @physiolaura and tell me what you learnt!
