On bonus episode 2 of a 3-part series (possibly 4), I’m talking about my birth story with my good friend, Chantel. During this recording, I’m 4.5 months postpartum. I am so lucky to be sharing my story! Shows are typically published on Mondays. However, there isn’t a schedule with the bonus episodes while I’m on maternity leave.
We left off OVER DUE BONUS EPISODE 1 with my midwife appointment on Friday where I was scheduled to be induced on Sunday. In this episode, we are discussing:
- Labor/ induction options
- labor exercises
- How my doula helped me before and during labor
- Updating family during labor
- First-time-mom hospital experiences
- Romanizing an unmedicated labor
- medicated labor options
- First thoughts after birth
- Was it love at first sight with my baby?
If this is your first time here, I’m Jamie Massey, 43 and the host of the podcast. It took us 3 years, 5 pregnancies, failed IVF, and a failed embryo transfer to have our first baby using donor eggs. You can go here to learn more about my story.
On bonus episode 3, I’ll be sharing my postpartum recovery story.
