Show Notes
This week, I am joined by my sister-friend, Jorden, who is my incredible sister-in-law, who is due just 2 days after I am! She has had 3 previous birth experiences that included 3 pitocin inductions, adjusting to breastfeeding, and the exhilarating experience of pushing one of her babies out in 2 pushes!
In this episode:
- Positive pregnancy experiences
- The anticipation of a scheduled induction
- A small meconium scare
- The impact of a great support team
- Utilizing a different doctor with each birth
Jorden is on my personal Mount Rushmore of amazing mothers, so I am so excited for y’all to be empowered and inspired by her stories!
