About this episode

Bridget shares her experience of navigating the mental shift after an unplanned C-section during her birth story.

Bridget joins us from Michigan to share her birth story. Aside from some stubborn acid reflux, she had a smooth pregnancy and was able to train until 39 weeks. After laboring to 9.5 cm, her progress stalled, and within a matter of hours, she had to adjust to the unexpected reality of an unplanned C-section. We talk about navigating that mental shift, processing a birth that didn't go as planned, and finding strength in a different path to motherhood.
