Time to switch it up! Haley is here from Naples, Florida to share about her first birth, which wasn’t at all what she had hoped or dreamed of. From an epidural that didn’t work, to ultimately an unplanned and unwanted cesarean birth, Haley is raw and vulnerable as she recounts the story as well as how ultimately her birth trauma contributed to her having postpartum depression. We talk about what she would change, what she felt she was lacking, and all about postpartum depression - what it is, could look like and how she recovered. I think there is value in learning from other people’s stories, but that it’s also valuable to not only hear the story but discuss how we can learn from the hard stories, offer perspective and de-stigmatize particularly anything “mental health” related. Her story is her own, it will not be yours. The goal would be finding the fruit for others Then, in part 2 (soon!), she tells of how she set herself up for and eventually had a transformative, healthy, happy birth memory - even though BOTH were cesarean births! This is just touching the tip of the iceberg related to the conversation on postpartum mood. Have other questions or comments? Comment below!
