Vagonominal: A Vaginal Delivery and a Cesarean Visit the Same Birth: Kristy's Birth Story + Midwife Insights

Today I'm lucky to be talking to a midwife about her experience with her own twin pregnancy. The process of getting pregnant and giving birth did not look at all as she had planned, despite the fact that she had a lot of real information on which to base her prediction. Although she didn’t have the specific birth she originally envisioned, she successfully carried twins to term, and gained personal experience with more styles of delivery in one pregnancy than most mothers of twins--she delivered one twin vaginally and the other through cesarean section--which she described as a vaginominal, thus the title.  Now she can bring her hard won knowledge to her midwifery work.

This is a weekly show that highlights real pregnancy, birth & postpartum stories.
