The Home Birth After Cesarean Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
In today's episode we meet Katherine and she shares her five birth stories. Katherine’s first cesarean was scheduled due to breech presentation, but when the cesarean was actually performed it was discovered that baby was no longer breech. During Katherine’s next two pregnancies she planned for a VBAC and VBA2C, but ended up scheduling her second cesarean because of the hospital and her third cesarean due to no longer feeling comfortable pursuing a VBA2C. Katherine’s next birth was a VBA3C in the hospital, followed by a UBA3C.
Join us as Katherine shares her birth stories, her varying experiences in healing emotionally after each of her births and 3 miscarriages, and the huge difference it can make to feel heard and respected during labor and birth, regardless of the birth outcome. We also discuss listening to your intuition as a mother, the difficulty in not knowing if you’ve made the “right” choices, struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety, talking to older generations of women about their birth experiences, the inability to advocate your way out of abuse, everyone having the right to share their own lived experiences, how each pregnancy and birth experience can lead you to make different decisions, getting out of extreme mindsets and into more of a journey-based mindset, and the importance of every woman being able to make decisions that align with her and her desires in pregnancy and birth.
