In this episode my husband guest stars as the host interviewing me on our two pregnancies, the lasting trauma that can come about from a difficult birth experience, and the horrors of postpartum depression and anxiety.

TRIGGER WARNING: if you are pregnant or planning on getting pregnant, this may be an episode you should skip. It gets a little graphic, I did NOT have an ideal experience, and knowing what I went through won’t do you any good while you are pregnant- it will likely only freak you out and I don’t want to do that.

But if you have just gone through childbirth or postpartum, or you are the partner of someone who is, I hope this episode helps you. You are not alone. And by identifying the maelstrom of foreign emotions going through me as postpartum depression, I was able to get the help I needed.
