Show Notes
April is Cesarean Awareness Month and in this episode we talk with the host of the Birth Trauma Stories podcast, which is a place that holds space and sheds light on perinatal trauma, Cathy Garrett. She shares her experience with AFE (amniotic fluid embolism), stroke, and postpartum endometritis. From having a cesarean with her first, attempting a VBAC for her second, and ultimately experience another cesarean along with need need for a hysterectomy she has faced many birthing situations from her 2 births.
After her second birth, she found herself in a coma for 9 days and over the course of that time she went through 6 surgeries. We explore her perspective and how she has become an advocate in this much needed space. If you are willing and open to this conversation I invite you to listen in and hear how this has shaped her life and opened up her awareness to these rare conditions that need to become more of a priority and talked about more in the motherhood community.
