Random Wellness Podcast

Let's just say my birth did not go to plan...⁠ I was very open to the fact that my ideal birth situation may not pan out because so many things can happen but what ended up happening was definitely not what i was thinking in terms of my birth not going to plan.⁠ ⁠It was more of a rollercoaster than I ever expected it would be and I am so thankful for Brendan, Sarah (doula), midwives, nurses, and OBs⁠ This podcast doesn't get into the emotional side as much and is more of a play by play of what happened based on notes I took when Brendan reiterated what happened (based off his memory and also text messages to our doula haha). Even then there was so much more in-between the moments I shared. I honestly have no problem sharing everything but you would probably get bored so I just shared the main things. ⁠ I was originally going to do this with Brendan but #newborn life so I am going to try and do a separate episode with him sharing his perspective and more of what I was mentally going through. I do touch on some of that during this podcast but I was on a time crunch with Stevie getting hungry (you can hear her in the background near the end LOL). ⁠ Stay tuned for a follow up episode...at some point...hopefully in the next couple of months
