Next Episode: Meet Sarah | What do I have to do, deliver this baby myself?!

Lynnea shares her two birth experiences, both of which included non-consented procedures, medication, and unnecessary episiotomies. She bravely explores how what happened to her body during her births affected her into her postpartum and beyond.

We talk about what her healing has looked like, on the other side of trauma. And how patriarchal systems, embedded into medical culture, are at the root of how women's bodies and the process of birth are pathologized.
