This is the first birth story of 2023 and it’s such a wonderful, happy, joyful one. Tes's pregnancy journey included an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and an almost IVF cycle that was halted by Covid shutdowns.

At 43 years old she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I really like how she maintains a positive attitude but is still honest about the hard parts. She’s real about loss, frustration, and pain - and she admits that yes, she did cuss but she never cussed at anyone.

 

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-What age Tes and her partner were when they decided to try and get pregnant

-Whether she conceived with or without IVF

-How the onset of the pandemic affected her pregnancy plans

-How she managed pregnancy loss

-Why Tes looked at being a patient of “advanced maternal age” as a good thing

-What made her care team so special

-How her pain management affected her birth

-Why she was rushed to an emergency procedure after her daughter was born
