Jen and Bethany dive deeper into “What I Wish I Knew Before My C-Section” with more honest, real-life stories from listeners. From the unexpected “spinal zinger” during anesthesia to dealing with pre-surgery exhaustion, no food, and the effects of medications, this episode covers what so many C-section moms wish they’d known ahead of time.

The hosts also discuss how to advocate for your preferences during a Cesarean birth like asking for skin-to-skin contact in the OR, requesting clear drapes, and saying no to unnecessary sedation. Plus, hear the story of a mom welcoming her baby to Elton John’s Tiny Dancer and reflections on celebrity C-sections, including Serena Williams, Kate Winslet, and Beyoncé.

Finally, Jen and Bethany share plans for a new, simple, and empowering resource to help moms facing an unexpected C-section feel more prepared and confident.

 

Whether your C-section is planned or comes as a surprise, this episode is packed with insights, validation, and tips to help you feel more in control of your birth experience.
