Summary

I strongly believe that women learn some of the most crucial information about labor, delivery and childbirth...from other women’s birth stories.

That’s why on the All About Pregnancy and Birth podcast you’ll find a mixture of advice, expert information, and real life birth stories from mamas and mamas-to-be, just like you.

This episode is a little different though...on today’s episode I’m sharing with you my own personal birth stories! No filters. No gloss. Just truth. Am I proud of every decision I made during my births? Nope. And I share that with you here today.

Because every birth is not ideal. Every mama doesn’t always make choices she’s thrilled about later. Every situation doesn’t go as planned or as dreamed about. But that doesn’t make it any less beautiful.

So join me on this episode to hear about my own experience giving birth, as a mama, and an OB/GYN.

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