Megan is here to share her experience of moving cross country during her pregnancy, having to find a new OB, and then needing to be induced at 39 weeks. Although things didn't go exactly as she would have liked she was ultimately very happy with her experience and she says a big part of that was because of the education that she got from being a member of The Birth Preparation Course!

We talk a lot in this episode about the shortcomings of the American healthcare system when it comes to pregnancy and birth. Even with the best care staff you’re oftentimes very much on your own. Megan does a great job of exemplifying how to pick up where medical care leaves off by educating herself and asking others in her community for help.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-What made Megan choose to sign up for the birth prep course

-How Megan got proactive with her birth experience

-What it was like for Megan to have PUPPP

-What cholestasis is and how it affected Megan’s pregnancy

-How childbirth education helped Megan to understand vacuum assisted delivery and feel more confident when it came time to make that decision

-How she worked through breastfeeding issues

-When she decided it was time to be done with nursing and how that made her feel
