In this conversation, Haley chats with Sydney, her previous client, about her 2 birth stories.
Sydney's first birth was an unplanned induction which resulted in an epidural, despite having the intention of going unmedicated. She talks about the fear that was instilled in her from her medical team & how she felt unprepared in the hospital setting to advocate for herself, despite having a doula. It was after this experience that inspired Sydney to educate herself even more in the preparation for her second birth a couple years later.
Sydney's second birth was in a birth center with midwives where she able to labor on her own, be in the tub & push in the positions that felt right for her body. She highlights some of the main differences between a medicated vs unmedicated birth & shares how much easier the recovery was for her second birth.
Many women choose hospital birth for their first & despite best intentions, end up with a cascade of interventions. Sydney's story is one of triumph & determination to experience a redemptive birth, one free of interference & full of trust.
