Krysti’s birth was everything she wanted. Due to her mosaic Turner's syndrome, she struggled with infertility. But after only one cycle of IVF she was able to conceive!

Her labor progressed very quickly and she had to speak up for herself to convince her care team that she was actually in labor. In fact things moved so fast that she gave birth right in a triage room. It goes to show that we can’t predict what birth will be like, we can only prepare.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-What mosaic Turner’s syndrome is and what it means for pregnancy

-What made Krysti feel like she might be going into labor

-What her attitude was towards pain management

-How giving birth outside of a birthing room affected her experience

-What her pain experience was like having a sunny side up birth

-How she struggled to adjust to her new body after giving birth

-What kinds of unexpected consequences came along with overproducing milk
