This episode features Victoria McKnight, from Saskatoon, SK.  She shares the pregnancy and birth story of her daughter Emma.  Victoria was able to get pregnant very easily the first time her and her husband tried.  She had a smooth and easy pregnancy but was very fearful of labour.  At the end of pregnancy, her blood pressure was registering on the higher side so her healthcare provider kept an eye on it and ultimately decided to induce Victoria when she was 5 days overdue.  Her induction ended up being quite a long and challenging one but she was finally able to give birth to their beautiful daughter.  Victoria struggled postpartum but started to find her groove as a new mother after about 6 weeks.
