Dr. Morgan's Fifth Home Birth Story | #179
About this episode
Dr. Morgan shares the unfiltered story of her fifth home birth and her postpartum recovery experience.
Dr. Morgan is back with her fifth baby, and this time, she's sharing the full, unfiltered story of her fifth home birth. From going past her due date and days of early contractions to the moment labor suddenly intensified, she walks Leah through what labor actually felt like, how she used breath, movement, and visualization to cope with contractions, and the transition that she says is one of the hardest and least talked-about parts of birth. She also shares the moment baby McLean was born, what it was like having her older children present, and the emotional experience of catching her own baby. But the conversation doesn't end with birth. Morgan also opens up about her first 10 days postpartum, including the routines, nutrition, movement, sleep strategy, and support system that have made this her best postpartum recovery yet. She also shares an unexpected realization about her baby's positioning and why pelvic floor physical therapy may have been the missing piece during pregnancy. 00:00 — Trailer & Introduction 01:43 — Going Past Her Due Date 06:34 — The Hardest Part of Pregnancy 11:15 — Early Labor Begins 15:29 — Walking Through Early Labor 21:37 — Labor Starts…
