This episode features TWO BIRTH STORIES. We talk about giving birth via cesarean, preparing to give birth vaginally after a c-section and how to advocate for yourself to find a care provider who is familiar with VBACs and supportive of helping mothers attempt a VBAC. We also discuss the pregnancy symptoms of carpal tunnel and Bells Palsy, what questions you need to ask any doula you interview before hiring them, what it’s like to switch to midwifery care even though you still plan to deliver at a hospital and much much more.
