Yá'át'ééh! In today's episode, co-hosts DeeDee James and Lexa Ingram will talk to a special guest, Koltey Tso. Koltey is a Diné woman, mother, wife, and student. She will share her pregnancy journey battling infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and talk about her birthing experience with her miracle baby. 

We appreciate Koltey's courage to share her sacred journey with us. This series aims to provide a safe space for birthing families to share their experiences to help other birthing families become informed about how pregnancy and birthing can happen. 

Disclaimer: We would like to let our audience know that these birthing stories include real people with real stories and may include topics on traumatic pregnancy and birthing experiences leading to loss of life, miscarriage, depression, suicide, and grief. If you are listening, please take breaks as needed. If these topics are too much for you to handle, please join us for our next episode and take care of yourself in the meantime.
