Ep 194: Advice from Labor and Delivery Nurse Liesel Teen a.k.a. Mommy Labor Nurse

Today’s guest, Liesel Teen, BSN, RN, is a labor and delivery nurse and the founder of Mommy Labor Nurse. I have been wanting to have a labor and delivery nurse on for a long time because I know how important they are to the birth experience. We obviously have quite a bit of overlap in what we do but I never want to come in front of you like I’m the only one with information to help you through your pregnancy and birth. Now of course I offer fantastic information but it’s great to have more than one trusted source. We come from different backgrounds, different experiences, and we bring that to our work. It can also be reassuring to hear the same thing from multiple experts. Different people present information in different ways and you may just find that one educator’s style works for you better than another. In this Episode, You’ll Learn About: -What exactly does a labor and delivery (L&D) nurse do during labor and birth -What are some misconceptions about L&D nurses -How L&D nurses work with doulas, doctors, and midwives -What should you expect from your L&D nurse -What you should do if you are not happy with your L&D nurse -What are some tricks and tips that Liesel has learned from her career   -- Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode194 Check out The Birth Preparation Course Register for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way Our Sponsors: * Check out Mochi Health at joinmochi.com and use my code DRNICOLE to get $40 Off! * Get 25% off your first month of Ritual's Fertility Support for a limited time at ritual.com/DRNICOLE!
