Ruth Wu, owner of Elysian Aerial Arts, joins us to share the complete story of welcoming her first baby into the world—without pain medication. From her water breaking in the middle of the night to laboring at home under the guidance of her doula, Ruth takes us through every stage of her birth experience. By the time she arrived at the hospital, she was already 7 centimeters dilated, but the journey was far from over. After 12 hours of labor and an intense three hours of pushing, she successfully delivered her baby unmedicated.

We also talk about the preparation that helped her feel confident heading into labor, including the parenting book Twelve Hours' Sleep by Twelve Weeks Old, which she credits with helping her baby sleep through the night. Ruth opens up about the realities of breastfeeding, postpartum exhaustion, and the transition into motherhood while balancing life as a business owner.

The Expecting Aerialist at the intersection of the aerial athlete’s lifestyle and motherhood. I share the stories of women from all over the world about their prenatal and postpartum journeys touching on topics such as pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti & C-section recovery and postpartum mental health. Some guests are everyday women turned badass hobbyists and others are professionals currently performing for Cirque du Soleil.

I ask the key questions - How did they get back to what they love to do? How do they view their athletic body now that it has undergone birth? How was the emotional and mental transition to motherhood and how has it changed the way they see themselves? How do outsiders perceive athletic pregnant women? What is their routine and how can we learn from them?
