About this listen
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussions of birth trauma, preterm labor, and medical emergencies. Please listen with care.
This week, we’re joined by friend of the pod, Katie Baxendale, who’s still fresh from her birth experience and finding her footing as a new mom. Together, we open up about how different, and deeply personal, each of our pregnancy and birth journeys were. We talk about moments that felt traumatic, times we felt dismissed or let down by doctors, the grief that comes with losing the full-term pregnancy we imagined, and the complicated guilt of having a “beautiful” birth while watching friends struggle.
It’s raw, honest, and emotional—but also full of connection, validation and tips on how best to support the women in your life going through similar.
If you’ve ever felt alone in your birth story, this episode reminds you that you’re not.
