This is episode number 91, my birth story. | |
Super excited to share with you my birth story. | |
Wow. Holy shit. | |
Let's just start with that. | |
I have so much respect for all birthing women no matter how it happens, no matter where it happens, no matter how it plays out. | |
It's just it's massive. | |
And while I expected it to be big, I just really didn't know what I was in for. | |
In saying that, I'm so grateful for the experience. | |
You know, every challenge and trial and tribulation has been beautiful in my eyes, and I'm really grateful for all of it, just to be able to experience all of it. | |
I truly believe that we were put on this earth to just experience all of these beautiful, hard, joyful, wonderful, magical things, you know, and get that wide range of human experiences and feel that wide range of emotions. | |
And I think that's really beautiful. | |
And I think that all of it has built a lot of resilience in me as a new mama at this point in my life. | |
So here it is. | |
Let's jump into it. | |
I'll try to keep it short and sweet ish. | |
So as you may know, if you've been following, I planned planned, quote unquote, planned and prepared for a home birth, and my baby girl ended up being delivered via cesarean section. | |
Another beautiful example of how life just gives you what you need, and not what you plan for. | |
And often or sometimes or often, it can turn out better than you ever imagined. | |
So I didn't have the birth that I quote unquote planned. | |
I had the birth that I was meant to have, and there were two souls driving this journey. | |
There was me and my baby girl. | |
So we were both driving the journey of labor and birth, and we worked together through it. | |
And I love I love the thought of the fact that we were working together, that we went on this really beautiful journey together. | |
I just feel like that's such a beautiful connection that I have with my daughter that we went on this big fucking hard, you know, long journey together, and we came out the other side. | |
And, yeah, I I couldn't have done it without her, obviously. | |
It's really special. | |
So, you know, I've always been a big advocate of that throughout my pregnancy as I'm learning about the female body. | |
I think it's quite incredible. | |
I am also always so so appreciative and grateful for modern medicine and medicine medical technology, for incredible doctors, for specialists, and surgeons who make actual miracles every day, who save lives, who make lives better. | |
You know, I always said on my IVF journey that my fertility specialist was an angel and my embryologist was a wizard, and they were such an incredible team. | |
I mean, we couldn't have conceived our baby without them. | |
So I'm so grateful for modern medicine, and I was really you know, although I was going down the natural home birth route, I've always had such such an open mind and gratitude for modern medicine. | |
And in my eyes, I think that's, you know, a really healthy, important mindset to adopt. | |
I think there can be toxic cultures on either side of the spectrum. | |
You know, in human nature, we take things too far sometimes. | |
So I say I'm the poster girl for IVF. | |
Right? And now I would be happy to be the poster girl for cesarean section birth because both of them were empowering and magical experiences for me. | |
And I really wanna stand up and say to women that I got help every step of the way. | |
I needed that help. | |
I needed the intervention, and that is okay. | |
So if you need the help, if you need the intervention at any point in your journey, it's okay. | |
It, you know, it doesn't, take away from your worth, and, it doesn't mean anything at all about you. | |
We had a long fertility journey. | |
We also had a long pregnancy and a long labor before meeting our girl. | |
So there's something in that. | |
Right? It was all worth every single when we saw her face when she came out. | |
When we both threw our heads back in sobs. | |
My husband thinks he cried more than me, but, yeah, it was pretty close. | |
We were all all three of us were howling, Sophia, Pelham, and myself. | |
It was pure magic, and that was all that mattered that point when we met her. | |
You know, it was just so beautiful. | |
And if you've experienced this, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. | |
She was everything we had waited for for so long, and she was finally here. | |
And I think the you know, my head being thrown back in sobs, it was like this feeling of relief. | |
Like, I could just like, I just let everything go. | |
Like, she's finally here. | |
Holy shit. | |
It's done, you know. | |
And, of course, there's more adventures and lessons and journeys now as my life moves on as a new mother. | |
But that whole chapter of my life, like, everything that led up to this point and she's here, and it just all came out out of me at once. | |
So today, I wanna share my beautifully unpredictable birth story, a journey that once again reminded me of the uncertainty of life and that the uncertainty in life is actually the best damn part. | |
Because uncertainty means that anything can happen, and it means that, like I said, things can work out better than you plan or better than you imagine for yourself. | |
And I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, always thinking about the bigger picture of why we are on this planet and experiencing all of this in this lifetime. | |
The bigger picture in this story being our healthy baby girl who is the cherry on top of a joyful life and loving relationship. | |
For those of you who don't know, we tried to conceive for five years before we chose the journey of IVF. | |
And we conceived our beautiful baby girl on our round of IVF. | |
Very luckily, very grateful. | |
It was a long and important journey that really shaped me, the woman that I am today. | |
I just paused the recording to go and pick up baby girl who started waking up from her nap. | |
So I've got baby in arms while I record the rest of this podcast, mom life. | |
Hashtag mom life. | |
So let's carry on baby in arms. | |
So I was very fortunate to have had a really beautiful pregnancy. | |
I had an easy pregnancy. | |
I had minimal nausea, discomfort, or pain. | |
And I really, attribute that to looking after my body throughout the pregnancy. | |
So I did lots of body work with my chiropractor and massage therapist. | |
I really looked after my body. | |
I ate ate lots of nutritious foods. | |
I went walking almost every day. | |
I did yoga for most of the pregnancy. | |
And I was just so in awe and grateful of my growing body the whole time. | |
I think after so long and at points in the fertility journey, finding it hard to even envision myself pregnant. | |
You know, at times I could, at times I couldn't. | |
And then here I was with this growing, expanding belly, and it was sort of like a pinch myself moment when I'd walk past a mirror or, a reflective shop window. | |
And I'd be like, oh my god. | |
Like, that's me. | |
I'm pregnant. | |
There's a human inside me. | |
And I'm sure, you know, every woman has that feeling because it's just such a surreal experience. | |
It's one of those true wonders of the world still. | |
You know? | |
Peep women walk around growing humans inside themselves all the time like it's normal, but it's fucking magic. | |
It's really cool. | |
So everything was smooth sailing until about week thirty six of my pregnancy when we discovered that baby girl was in the breech position. | |
So she was upside down. | |
She had her head up near my ribs and her butt down the bottom. | |
So obviously, this was a little bit of a a bump in the road. | |
When it comes to a breech baby, there's several options. | |
One of those being an ECV in which an obstetrician can manually massage and turn the baby around. |
