Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! Join me in this episode as I talk with Kaely Harrod, an experienced doula and mother of three who has been helping families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum for over 12 years. We dive deep into the topic of birth trauma and specifically discuss ways moms can minimize the amount of trauma they experience during birth.

 

Kaely shares her own experience with birth trauma due to a Bicornuate Uterus and how it was the driving force behind her work as a doula. She emphasizes the importance of informed consent, how trauma varies from person to person, as well as the importance of validating each person's experience.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Trauma is defined by the person experiencing it and can be anything from an emergency to unmet expectations. 
2. Informed consent is crucial to minimizing birth trauma.
3. You have complete freedom to pause and consider your options during labor.
