Trigger Warning for expecting mamas: Today's episode contains my not so fun birth experience with my first.  And by "not so fun," I mean terrifying, traumatic and awful. BUT I am not sharing this to just be a Debbie downer. Instead, it's being shared in the hopes of inspiring others to advocate for themselves. It is my hope you will walk away with more knowledge & inspiration for self-advocacy and support. Birth trauma is more common then most realize so here is my story. Join me everyday for a real look into life with 3 crazy ass kids, surviving, thriving, whatever the F else you might consider our daily at www.instagram.com/theverymarylife.
