I think this might be the first time I’ve had a guest describe their birth as “beautiful,” “joyful,” and even “relaxing”! Erin wasn’t expecting to be somebody who loved her birth story but she absolutely does. Today, she’s here to share her perspective that a hospital birth can be beautiful.I didn’t realize until we started talking, but Erin actually gave birth in the hospital where I work! I was not a part of her birth but I know her doctor, nurses, and midwife. It was so nice to hear from a patient perspective that the place I work provides a great experience and validates that hospital birth can be beautiful!In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:Why she fainted in her wedding dressHow she managed high blood pressure caused by pregnancyWhen she decided to go to the hospital (and why she went back home)How long she labored at homeWhich pain management option she wantedHow she stayed calm through the painHow long she pushedWhat parental support her job providedFull website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode249Check out The Birth Preparation CourseRegister for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right WayIf you like this podcast, please help support it!
