About Labor & Birth Preparation
Real Talk About Birth Prep
Over the past 12 years, I've worked with thousands of moms and seen how much unwanted fear is floating around about childbirth. I focus on facts, not myths. My approach is simple: help you trust your body, trust your baby, and make sure you feel ready for whatever birth has in store, whether that's a vaginal, VBAC, or planned C-section.
What I Actually Teach
- Breathing techniques for labor: Specific patterns for every stage, so you stay calm and avoid panic (and screaming!).
- Pain management during childbirth: Not just theory - we do the comb trick, hot water bag, swaying, and the best positions (spoiler: flat on your back is out).
- Pregnancy exercises for normal delivery: Birth ball, deep squats, duck walk, curb walk, stretching - all simple but make a huge difference.
Understanding Your Own Labor
- Know the stages, how to time contractions, and when to actually go to the hospital.
- How to make decisions if plans change, because sometimes, they do.
Support for Partners Too
- Couple session is always a favorite. Partners get hands-on practice: counter-pressure massage, breathing together, real ways to help.
Special Situations? Covered.
I've supported moms with gestational diabetes, PCOS, high BP, previous miscarriages, even tough VBACs. I'll give straight, practical advice for your unique journey.

My Story
You know, life has its own way of teaching. Family’s always been my backbone. My Amma, Renuka Devi, and Appa showed me what real care looks like. In-laws? Pure gold. Last few months, full busy with classes, travel, kids falling sick, but their help kept me going. That's why I say, pregnancy isn’t just one person’s thing – it’s a whole family journey. In Vriksham, I’m your Anu Akka, always here for you.
