Ep 184: They're PARENTS!

RERUN: They’re officially MOM AND DAD! Shannon and James sit down to recap the birth of their sweet baby girl, Daisy Patricia Middleton! They discuss the long weeks leading up to her due date, the unexpected parts of labor, and Shannon’s luck: a (wonderful) student nurse who made her cry. Shannon talks about her initial fear of childbirth and what helped ease her anxiety. James shares his perspective from the delivery room, and his shock from the shape of Daisy’s head (parents, you know). Epidural, low blood pressure, swelling, catheters, hemorrhoids, but also the overwhelming joy of being parents: don’t miss episode 164 for all things birth of Daisy.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:46 Discussing Birth Fears and Expectations02:57 Preparing for Labor04:27 The Final Days Before Birth08:59 Induction Day and Early Labor17:22 Labor Progress and Epidural Experience27:24 The Student Nurse Encounter29:15 Epidural Challenges and Adjustments34:39 The Long Push and Blood Pressure Scare39:10 The Final Push and Delivery50:31 Post-Delivery Reflections52:03 Nurse Support and Baby's First Moments52:42 Record-Breaking Baby Stats53:34 Postpartum Nurse Experiences57:33 Post-Birth Recovery Challenges58:19 Catheter and Swelling01:01:47 Hemorrhoids and Recovery01:03:33 Lazy Bladder and Number 201:15:25 Baby's Head and Recovery01:17:18 Final Thoughts and GratitudeLINKS:Follow Shannon: https://instagram.com/probablyshannon/Follow James: https://www.instagram.com/jamesmiddletoncoach/Follow Producer Courtney: https://instagram.com/whatsacourtney/Follow Probably A Podcast: https://instagram.com/probablyapodcast/Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/probablyshannonfordProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
