Kristyn was 37 weeks pregnant with her first baby when she developed acute appendicitis. in order to be treated for it, her baby needed to be delivered immediately, but due to delayed diagnosis and dismissive care at the hospital, she suffered a great deal of pain, delivered via cesarean under general anesthesia, and had her baby separated from her postpartum.

Kristyn shares with us the long term ramifications of this experience, the impact of having a healing, subsequent birth at home, and finding her place in the movement to improve birth for women in Australia via craftivism.
