Grab your headphones!! Join us for a chat with Veronica who will make you giggle and ponder, as she shares her twists and turns of her birthing journey. From possibly false claims about preeclampsia and ensuing medical induction in her first birth, to becoming vegan and having a transformed pregnancy experience in her second, Veronica walks us from the medical model through the joy of the midwifery model and how she found strength in her journey.

Topics Discussed:

- Inductions!! For two days before her due date due to concerns about preeclampsia "maybe in a couple of weeks"

- Pressure from the medical hierarchy

- Change in diet during pregnancy; from "eat anything you want!" to vegan

- Receiving Cytotec

- Providers who didn't believe that her water was broken
