Jasmine was 41 weeks pregnant, and about to give birth to her first child, when her brother suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. She tells us the story of what it was like to be induced and give birth while dealing with the whirlwind of stress, emotions, and grief.

Jasmine also shares the story of her second birth which was near a completely opposite experience, at home, and was (as so many subsequent births often are), a healing experience.
