#187 - Unfilter Birth Story - Pushing, Learnings & Newborn Life - PART TWO
Description:
We’re back with part two of our unfiltered birth story—picking up right where we left off at 10 centimeters dilated. In this raw and honest episode, Luka and I dive into the intensity of pushing, what it felt like for me, what it was like for him watching it unfold, and the surreal moment our daughter entered the world.
From the first moments of holding her to moving into the postpartum suite and navigating those first few days as new parents, we share everything—the highs, the struggles, and the unexpected lessons we’ve learned in these first few weeks. And just like last time, we’re recording this in the thick of newborn life, with our baby’s sweet coos (and cries) in the background, making this a truly real-time reflection.
What We Cover in This Episode:
• What it was like reaching 10 cm and moving into the pushing stage
• My experience of pushing—physically, emotionally, and mentally
• Luca’s perspective on witnessing the birth and supporting me through it
• The moment our daughter was born—what we felt, thought, and experienced
• Moving into the postpartum suite and those raw first days with a newborn
• The emotional, physical, and mental shifts of postpartum recovery
• What we’ve learned in our first few weeks as parents
This episode is a vulnerable, real-time look at birth, postpartum, and early parenthood—no filters, no fluff, just the truth.
