About this listen

This week, I’m joined by my friend from home, Annika, who is such a kind and resilient person.

After wrestling with several chronic health issues in her early twenties, Annika shares her winding road to mom-hood, including her IUI journey, her positive pregnancy experience, an induction, an epidural, 30 HOURS of labor, and the emotional decision to pivot to a C-section. She also talks about utilizing accelerated resolution therapy (or ART) to process her birth experience.

In this episode:

  • Unanticipated infertility + IUI success
  • Enjoying pregnancy after infertility
  • Elective induction + inability to dilate
  • Mental and emotional coping during a C-section
  • Reflecting on the vulnerability required in motherhood
