Shaniel & Sydney's Birth Stories Part 2

In Part 2 of our birth stories, we’re talking about the actual birth and the often overlooked postpartum experience. From labor and delivery to the emotional and physical realities of the fourth trimester, we open up about what really happened and how different our experiences were.
We also discuss the identity shifts, challenges, and healing that come after birth, and what helped (and didn’t help) us feel supported during that time. Our stories are honest, personal, and a reflection of our own lived experiences.
A note of acknowledgment: We are two white, cisgender women with access to supportive partners, healthcare, and resources. These are privileges that shape our experiences and are not available to all. We share our stories with humility and awareness, knowing that every birth journey is deeply individual.
Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of medical interventions and postpartum mental health. Please take care while listening.
This is part 2 of a 2 part episode. If you missed part 1 catch it here.
