What happens when you have to navigate a tricky pregnancy? Rachel's Birth Story

Pregnancy, both physically and emotionally,  is a personally transformative event no matter what else is going on in the pregnant person’s life. The context in which you are experiencing this pregnancy, be it calm or dramatic, can add to the challenge. Today’s guest experienced flux in both her extended family, her immediate family, and the medical community she was a part of. While she successfully had six children, five of the births involved emergencies, and her third pregnancy, the focus of today’s conversation, was seeded with issues from the very start. Despite the many tricky elements of this pregnancy and birth, my guest (and eventually her daughter) persevere and create something beautiful: a beautiful baby who grows up to have a beautiful life.
