In this episode of True Birth, we share more birth stories. As always, stories are honest, nuanced, and deeply human. Some are empowering, some are complicated, some are unexpected, and all of them are real.

Birth is often spoken about in extremes. Perfect or traumatic. Natural or medical. Success or failure. But lived experience is far more layered than that. These stories remind us that birth unfolds within bodies, families, systems, and moments we can't always predict and that meaning is often found in how supported, informed, and heard someone feels along the way.

If you are pregnant, postpartum, planning a future birth, or simply holding space for others, this episode is a reminder that your story matters too. There is wisdom in sharing it and healing in being heard.

We want to hear from you. Have a birth story, a question, or something you're still processing? Send us an email or a voice memo. Your message may be featured in an upcoming episode.
