I am super excited to have a birth story episode for you from a student in the BPC! Elvira joins us today to share the story of her beautiful, unmedicated birth. She loves to help other expectant/new moms and being part of that community.
Elvira has an amazing story for her birth. Even though things didn’t go exactly as planned she still had a beautiful birth and was happy about her experience. There are so many wonderful moments and lessons in her story and I know you’re going to enjoy it.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
- How Elvira used the questionnaire from the birth prep course to evaluate her doctor
- How the birth prep course helped supplement her birth education when Covid made in-person classes inaccessible
- How she discovered she was in labor
- How quickly she dilated (5cm in less than an hour!)
- What a huge help her labor nurse was
- How her husband helped in the birthing process
- Why she ended up choosing to get an episiotomy
- What struggles she faced with breastfeeding
- What happened when she, her husband, and her baby all got Covid
