Ep176: Christina’s Birth Story - An Uncomplicated Pregnancy That Ended With Severe Preeclampsia and a C-Section


Listen Later

This is really a great story of managing through a difficult and unexpected birth course. After a completely uneventful and easy pregnancy, around 37 weeks Christina felt like something just wasn’t right so she went to the hospital. She was subsequently diagnosed with something called HELLP syndrome, one of the most severe forms of preeclampsia. After being transferred to another hospital, she ultimately delivered via c-section and you are going to hear all about her experience today.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-How quickly and easily Christina and her husband got pregnant

-What it was like for Christina to be pregnant and working in-person during the height of COVID

-How staying active helped with her pregnancy symptoms

-Why she took an interest in hypnobirthing and what she did to prepare

-How she approached researching and getting ready for an unmedicated birth

-What HELLP syndrome is and how it is managed

-How Christina and her husband’s differing careers facilitate coparenting
