Ep154: Karrah’s Birth Story - Easy Pregnancy, Difficult Birth
Just because an outcome is unlikely doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen. Birth stories are entertaining and heart-warming, but don’t forget that they are also educational. Learning about other people’s births will expose you to different possibilities. And that’s exactly what today’s guest, Karrah, did.
A self proclaimed “podcast junkie,” Karrah filled the time during her pregnancy with long walks while listening to birth stories - stories she heard on this podcast, actually! Even though her pregnancy went smoothly, she knew she couldn’t only plan for the birth that she wanted - she needed to think about all kinds of labor experiences. And it’s a good thing she did because her simple pregnancy ended in a very difficult labor.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
-Why Karrah decided to go the OB route for her prenatal care
-How The Birth Preparation Course helped Karrah get ready for her birth
-Why you should consider all complications a possibility for you
-What methods Karrah tried in order to induce labor at home
-How hospital staff made her feel empowered
-How she used movement to ease labor pain
-What chorioamnionitis is and what it felt like for Karrah
-How difficult the process of healing from a third degree tear is
-How isolated Karrah felt in her experience with a physically and emotionally traumatic birth
