Amaia's Birth Story

In this episode, I am sharing my second daughter, Amaia’s birth story. I will also be answering questions this community submitted on IG! This is my birth experience and I will say, I had a beautiful birth at home, it could not have gone better. My first birth was very painful, I thought about giving up multiple times, and had a lot of fear in the beginning. I held a lot of resentment for a while about the pain I went through but I’ve come to change my tune and be grateful for that birth. Katelyn from Happy Homebirth Podcast once told me you have the birth you need. Making the transition from maiden to mother the first time is a lot, at least it was for me. The painful birth prepared me and gave me a little taste for what was ahead. I love being a mom and my entire life revolves around my girls, but it doesn’t mean it’s not hard. It has changed me in ways I couldn’t imagine. If your birth was challenging, I hope it changed you for the better too.
I share:
How and when my contractions started
Tools I used for pain management during labor
Not tensing my uterus or pelvic floor during contractions to make progress
How my husband supported me the most
Comparing the births of both daughters
What I did and used after birth for recovery and healing

Loved hearing your story:) My daughters birth was very similar to your first. I did all teh courses, and prepped and think i basically tried to "study" my way into a perfect birth. Looking back it was so much of me trying to control the outcome, and even though i had a great birth (healthy baby, felt supported and safe at a great birth center, etc) I had a lot of disappointment because of how painful it was, how much i threw up etc. it was HARD! My husband and I talk about what we want for the next one and I definitely think i would trade all the "prep" for focusing on surrendering and remaining open. Because if i can do it mentally my body will have an easier time following.
I also tried doing bowspring for a few months and it could not compute in my body, i could never figure out why! I am going ot try Paris program, cant wait to hear that podcast episode! And yes, milk moon is WORTH IT!
