What was it like when you became a mama?

I love the journey of motherhood because we all have different beginnings and awareness around when and how the experience begins.

For some just thinking about becoming a mom is the beginning - no matter how old you were. Putting yourself in the space and visualization of being someone’s mama. For others it might be the moment they discovered they were pregnant. And then there’s birth day, or adoption day for many mamas.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the story of the day I gave birth to my daughter Maya. It’s a rebroadcast from the podcast I host with my husband Matthew and I mention every now and then on the show, The Doing It At Home Podcast. The conversation is me, Matthew and baby Maya nuzzled on his chest, sitting in our bed with a recorded between us, about 6 days after our birth.

We go through the whole process of early labor, active labor, our team arriving and all the people we had at our house to support us, the birth and some of the initial postpartum experience as we settled into life as a family of 3.
