I think my water just broke. I felt like things really intensify. She was right there and she was coming.

It was an amazing feeling.

I'm going to cry just thinking about it.

I could feel her head.

We heard her cry.

We were squeezing hands and she was screaming.

I'm Bren Hunt Palmer and you're listening to the birth hour. This

podcast is designed as a safe place to come together and share childbirth stories.

Stick around and join us to hear informative and empowering birth journeys from all over the world.

Today's episode is sponsored by Anja Health, founded by Catherine Cross in memory of her brother Andrew.

After a near drowning accident, Andrew was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and needed

umbilical cord stem cells for treatment.

Unfortunately, Catherine's parents couldn't find a match.

Catherine founded Angie Health to help parents preserve umbilical cord and placenta stem cells

at birth to potentially use for future disease treatment.

Affordability was an important factor when establishing angel health and storage fees will

range from $49 to $99 a month depending on the plan you choose.

You can get your collection kit for free today at anga health.com using the code

birth hour.

Learn more about storage plants and cord blood banking at the end of this episode when I talked to

Catherine about her story and the founding of Anja Health. Before we get to

today's episode I would love to invite you to join our Patreon community.
