460. Summer's Birth Story with Jeff and Garrett

About this episode

Garrett and her husband Jeff share the challenging and emotional story of their daughter's birth, including the difficulties of induction and secondary infertility.

Garrett brings her husband Jeff on to tell the tale of their daughter's birth story. TLDR: Garrett had to face the ONE thing she didn't want--induction. After 30 hours of rhythmic contractions, she was only 2 cm dilated and had to face a difficult choice. Tune in to hear why Garrett felt much of the birth was like "upside down world," and to learn the happy ending to a very hard journey of secondary infertility.
