In this episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah Lavonne talks with licensed therapist Krysta Dancy, MA, MFT, CBD to explore what trauma-informed care really looks like in labor and delivery. Together, they unpack how nervous system regulation, presence, and connection shape the labor and delivery experience for both patients and nurses. This conversation goes beyond checklists and protocols to address burnout, compassion fatigue, and why trauma-informed care is as much a way of being as it is a set of skills.

In this episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah Lavonne takes a deep dive into labor positions for why they matter, how they work, and why they’re so much more than just “turning patients.” This episode is really just the tip of the iceberg when it come to understanding physiologic birth. But, it is a mini crash course on anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based positioning. I talk about how environment, mobility, gravity, pelvic mechanics, and nursing judgment all intersect to support labor progress and reduce unnecessary Cesareans. If you’re looking for more and want a solid breakdown of positioning and physiologic birth, take our foundational Physiologic Birth Class. Thanks for listening and subscribing!
