93: Are you Hesitant to Have a Second Child After a Rough First Birth? Real mama talk with guest Kelly De Chantal and listener responses
Manage episode 310842387 series 3074589
So many of us soul mammas have experienced a traumatic 1st birth & because of that, we are now hesitant to have another child. Kelly De Chantal, mom of a toddler, is going to share her traumatic first birth experience, long labor/ emergency C section & I will be interweaving your responses as well. This prompted a discussion about disappointing births, post traumatic stress/anxiety & emotions that ensue following our births. Thank you to those of you who responded to the prompts for this on Instagram.
Take aways from today:
- Why our birth experiences need to be talked about
- How traumatic births are more common than we expect
- Why it's hard to let go of control when it comes to how we planned our birth experience
- How we need to let go of mom guilt and the fear of failure when our births don't go as planned
- C sections and the stigma around them
- How vaginal births can also be traumatic
- Modern medicine; and why Kelly feels it's important she had access to it when things went awry
- As an athlete it was hard for Kelly to endure a C section for mental and physical reasons.
- Recovering from a C section and an infection that ensued
- Her hesitancy to have a second child because of this experience
- Why she believes a mom community is so important
