Ep166: Taryn’s Birth Story - An Emergency Cesarean and a Stay in the NICU
In this episode of the podcast, being brought to you by Ellement prenatal supplements, we have Tarynn sharing her birth story. Tarynn is actually one of the members of The Birth Preparation Course. Things didn’t go exactly as planned with her birth, in fact they went exactly the opposite. Now it would be easy for me to only share birth stories from course students where everything went great but that would be dishonest of me. The reality is that sometimes things don’t go as you’d like, despite having done great childbirth education. Birth is an unpredictable process that can’t be controlled.But that doesn’t mean childbirth education isn’t important. Tarynn was thankful for the podcast and Birth Preparation Course as they helped her adjust on the fly and do what was necessary to get her baby home safe.Baby Eleanor and Tarynn are doing well now but it took some time to get there. In sharing her story Tarynn hopes she can help others learn the value in being adaptable and shine a light on what she calls that “mama strength we all have inside of us”.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
-Why it’s ok to switch doctors if it doesn’t feel like a good fit
