Last time you heard from your host, Angela Dulaney, I shared with you my experience with my OB up to that point and why I switched to a birthing center. Well, things progressed rather quickly after that. After only 2 appointments with the Birthing Center midwives, I was diagnosed with Gestational Hypertension and referred out to a High Risk OB, which would later lead to a Severe Preeclampsia diagnosis, but not before spending 2 separate stays in the hospital. In this episode, I go into detail about our birth story and the events leading up to the birth of our beautiful babygirl.

In this very special episode of the Crowned Avenue Podcast, I am giving listeners an update on my pregnancy journey so far, and some major changes that I had to make to take control of my prenatal care by making the decision, along with my husband, to switch from an OBGYN practice to a Birthing Center led by Midwives.

After taking some time to myself over the past few weeks, I am back with another episode of the Crowned Avenue Podcast. This week, I take you through my thought process surrounding the current events, what trauma really is, and how I have been processing the trauma of being bombarded with terrible news pretty much on a daily basis over the past few weeks. Think of this as my first podcast journal entry. If you are having difficulty processing your thoughts and/or feelings, please take some time to love on yourself. If that is not enough, please take advantage of community in any way that you can.
