In this series, we will be hearing from women about their experience with birth. We will be hearing the in’s and out’s of how their births felt for them, what they chose and why they chose that, and experience it alongside them as they relive it for themselves!

In this episode, we chat with Marin about her first birth with her son. She had been told he was a girl her whole pregnancy, and her birth turned chaotic when his heartbeat was lost during labor, which resulted in an emergency cesarean. She had attempted a VBAC with her second son, but he ended up having similar complications to her first birth, resulting in another cesarean. Her second birth was very different than her first, despite the similar circumstances. Marin chats through the reason she felt these two births were so different, and gives every mama the best advice when it comes to birth.
