Summary

In this episode, I return from maternity leave to conclude my labor and delivery recap. I share the long journey it was to finally get induced, what it was like going through the induction, from admittance to postpartum recovery, and how this experience came full circle from a terrible labor to a wonderful delivery. I also discuss why it’s so essential – and often difficult – to advocate for yourself during labor and delivery, what it felt like to learn we had a boy, why making the delivery room a positive environment is a gamechanger, and more.

Key Takeaway / Points:

The long journey to finally getting induced
What it was like going through an induction
On speaking up and advocating for yourself during labor and delivery
On making the delivery room the environment you want it to be
On being surprised that we had a boy
My immediate postpartum experience in the hospital

1:47.1	And with the exception of wanting to do like two to three episodes during maternity leave,
