Manage episode 384895400 series 2847235
This birth story today is with Carissa, a first time mum to a 6 month old boy.
Carissa shares her journey of becoming a mother.
Trying to fall pregnant naturally for almost 2 years with two early losses; then seeing a fertility specialist who helped her fall pregnant. Fast forward to pregnancy; Carissa was sick with mild HG from week 8 to birth. Carissa tested positive to GDM at 18 weeks, and ended up having to be induced due to multiple reduced movements.
Carissa describes an 'amazing birth with zero issues'.
Postpartum, Carissa was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety at 4 months postpartum. Even though becoming a mother was something she had wanted for so, so long, she reports it has been a journey with multiple difficult moments.
And as Carissa describes, "It’s all been worth it. Every single bad moment. Completely worth it".
