What Happens when you become a Mother Without your Mother? Melissa's Birth story, Part II

Today we pick up the second half of Melissa's story. At the end of last week's episode Melissa was on bedrest, she has to leave her job and be home with a four year old and a husband who worked full time, in a town in which she didn't have a strong support network because she'd moved there relatively recently. To remind us where she was emotionally, I'm going to share an excerpt from Melissa's writing--this is a sneak preview of her book...in this excerpt she is describing the experience of being told about the prospect of a too early birth.  To listen to the excerpt, press play; to read it, go to http://warstoriesfromthewomb.com/

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