In today's episode we meet Corinna. After the birth of her son at the age of 21, Corinna was told that she would automatically need a cesarean for any future babies. In the 14 years until her daughter is born, and again before the birth of her second son, Corinna works through her fears surrounding birth and overcoming her insecurities about the capability of her body.
Join us as Corinna shares her three birth stories -- a medicated hospital birth, a cesarean, and an HBAC -- and as we discuss the importance of support during pregnancy, the relationship you have with your provider, informed decision making (or lack thereof), and feeling like you have a choice in the type of care you receive.
***TRIGGER WARNING: During our discussion, there is mention of Corinna's sister giving birth to a stillborn baby girl. It is very important to bring awareness to and provide support for this topic, however, if this is upsetting to you it may be best to skip over our conversation between 7 minutes and 8 minutes 30 seconds.
