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
