Summary

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again...birth story episodes are my favorite!

And this episode is packed full of amazing lessons and stories that all pregnant mamas-to-be should hear.

From an unplanned epidural free birth, gestational diabetes, honest feelings revealed over the disappointment of having three boys and no girls, to different experiences across three pregnancies and three deliveries...there’s a lil something for everyone!

My guest on this episode is Dr. Lulu, also known as Dr. Uchenna Umeh. She’s an expert pediatrician (or Momatrician as she is fondly called by her patients) whose experiences run the gamut of pregnancy and births!

Listen in to this episode as she shares her experiences and the lessons she learned that she’s using to help her patients 20 years later.

If you still have questions after listening in to this episode, I would love for you to check out my website. There are so many resources for you there! You can access my website by clicking here.
