(!!! CONTENT WARNING !!!!) Listener discretion is advised. 

On this week's episode, we hear part 1 of Kiersten's story (part 2 will be published next week). Kiersten discusses how a history of trauma and abuse impacted her first pregnancy and birth experience, as well as various traumatic complications that resulted due to an induction. Kiersten's struggles are expressed courageously and processing them aloud has been very beneficial to her. We are once again tremendously thankful to provide a platform for Kiersten and others like her to share their experiences, to provide an opportunity for healing, and to remind moms everywhere of the importance of education and autonomy in birth. 

You don't have to have a bad birth in order to have a good birth.
