On this week's listener episode, we welcome Kate. After a relatively uncomplicated IVF pregnancy, Kate went into spontaneous labor at full term and experienced a peaceful labor and delivery at the hospital. After her daughter was born, she suffered a postpartum hemorrhage and 3rd-degree uterine inversion. Kate shares with us her experience of waking up under paralytics and processing her feelings of both fear and gratitude as she navigated healing post-birth trauma.

On this episode, you will hear:
- PCOS, infertility and IVF
- third-degree tear and hemorrhage
- mass transfusion protocol and hypervolemic reaction
- 3rd degree uterine inversion
- uterine artery embolization
- the use of paralytics
- experiencing "final thoughts"
