Hi friends! This week I am sharing my birth stories, postpartum experience, and whether I think going from 0-1 kids or 1-2 is harder. I share how my postpartum experiences varied between both kids, chat about colic, breastfeeding issues, feeling like a failure as a new mom and my experience being pregnant and giving birth during the pandemic. 

I did not create an outline before I started recording so be prepared for me to be completely adhd in this episode. Enjoy!
