L&D Nurse Secrets, Birth Myths & What Pregnant Women Really Need to Know with Lo Mansfield

In this episode of The Push Podcast, we sit down with Lo Mansfield, better known as The Labor Mama, a labor & delivery nurse, mom, educator, and one of the most trusted voices online for evidence-based pregnancy, birth, and postpartum education!

Lo shares what it’s really like for her working as an L&D nurse, the biggest misconceptions about labor and delivery, what social media gets wrong about birth, and the things labor nurses wish every pregnant woman and partner knew before heading to the hospital. We talk about common labor fears, birth plans, postpartum realities, and how to feel more informed and less anxious going into birth.

We also dive into hilarious behind-the-scenes labor and delivery stories, the funniest things partners do during labor, overhyped hospital bag items, pregnancy myths circulating online, and the moments in birth work that people don’t talk about enough.

This episode is packed with reassurance, practical advice, honest conversations, and plenty of laughs for anyone navigating pregnancy, labor, postpartum, or new parenthood.
