Felicia’s Dream Hawaiian Water Birth After An Ectopic Pregnancy
Our Birthing Person: Felicia Banks
Other Guests: Marco Antonio Perez Estrada, Wahinehula Kaʻeo
Episode Description: Felicia didn’t know if she’d ever give birth to a baby after an ectopic pregnancy that left her with one fallopian tube — but after years of physical and spiritual healing, she got exactly what she always wanted on the island of Hawaii. Originally from Idaho, Felicia has reclaimed love and peace as a stay-at-home mom and massage therapist who enjoys exploring the outdoors, hiking, and being by the ocean. Join Kimberly for this week’s episode, as she chats with this mama about how she found joy and healing after heartache and uncertainty and birthed her miracle baby surrounded by Black women.
