In the first episode of the Military Birth Talk podcast, we hear from Gaby Cavins, Navy veteran, and Executive Director of the Military Birth Resource Network and Postpartum coalition. Gaby shares her three birth stories, including a traumatic hospital birth, followed by a "freeing and healing" hospital birth, and concluding with a "silent, peaceful" homebirth. Gaby shares about the way in which her varied births, and her processing of each of these transformative experiences during the postpartum period, led her to eventually become a birth worker herself. She also shares about the complexities of giving birth as an Active Duty service member. Gaby then discusses her work with MBRNPC, and shares some of the unique resources it provides to the military community.

About Military Birth Talk
From the publisher's feed
Military Birth Talk features birth stories from service members, spouses, veterans, and providers, all told through the unique lens of birthing in the military. Birth is a profound,…
unforgettable experience leaving a lifelong imprint on our hearts. For military families and service members, giving birth and parenting in our community presents its own unique, challenging, and empowering realities--giving birth alone or in a foreign country, navigating Tricare during miscarriage or infertility obstacles, or being on Active Duty without the option to birth outside of the hospital are just a few of the realities we may face. By sharing our stories, we hope to increase transparency and information for fellow military families, providers, and policy makers. Tune in each Thursday for a new episode.
