Birth Story 78: Feige’s Unplanned C-Section & Life-Saving Decision

In this episode of the MamasteFit Podcast Birth Stories, Feige shares her 2 birth stories, detailing her transition from an unplanned C-section in her first birth to preparing for a VBAC in her second pregnancy. Despite meticulous preparation involving choosing a different provider, exercising, and maintaining a healthy diet, she faced an emergency C-section the day before her due date due to decreased fetal movement. Prompted by her husband and recalling advice from the podcast, she went to the hospital, a decision that ultimately saved her baby's life. This episode emphasizes the importance of monitoring fetal movements, trusting maternal intuition, and the impact of supportive care teams.
