3. My First Birth Story: the Powerful Story That Started It All
Manage episode 392019702 series 3543316
Today’s episode is a special one for me to share, because it’s my very first birth story with my oldest son, Mason! I really learned so much during this experience, and I’ve been on quite the journey since he came into this world. I knew I had to gift this story to you; it not only impacted how my second and third births were, but it dramatically changed the way I see birth.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing all about:
-What my first pregnancy was like and how I prepared for it as best I could
-My overall experience with my OBGYN
-My labor and delivery in the hospital + my traumatic epidural experience
-My challenging postpartum recovery
I learned a LOT during my first pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience. Navigating it all as a first-time mom can be overwhelming and scary for so many of us. Even though I went through challenges I never expected to deal with, I’m still grateful for my experience, and the path I’m on now. It really helped me better prepare for my second and third babies, and I knew what I did NOT want to happen going forward.
I always say-unmedicated birth does not equal non-traumatic birth, and medicated birth does not equal traumatic birth. If you’ve ever experienced a traumatic birth in any way though, you absolutely need the right support in order to process and heal. Ultimately, our views of birth and what we allow to happen during birth HAS to change; I am passionate about doing that in this space, and more!
