160 Pushing while stuck in the hospital elevator + IVF + Covid virtual doula support

Woah. This episode took a turn I was not expecting.  Bri shares about her fertility journey with 2 egg retrievals and multiple losses with unexplained infertility-seriously the most annoying infertility diagnosis there is.  Her doula, Sabrina, joins us to share about laboring with her at home, transferring her to the hospital, hugging her good-bye on a stretcher. You see it was the beginning of COVID and the hospital would not allow doulas to come inside.  And then.....they banged her around in the elevator and then the elevator shut down and she was stuck.....pushing.  What happened next...you will have to listen! XOXO- Heids Please joing me for all of your childbirth education needs in Birth Story Academy. I would love to be your virtual doula and teach you all about birth, the stages of labor, birth plans, newborn care plans, and how to be prepared for spontaneous labor, inductions, and cesareans.

Om Podcasten

Hi! I'm Heidi, experienced Birth Doula and host of the Birth Story podcast brought to you by Birth Story Media™. I support moms through their fertility and pregnancy journeys and help have trauma free birth stories and labor stories. When moms embrace their pregnant bellies and their pregnancy and await the arrival of their baby or babies they are going to feel many emotions and have many visions about what will happen during child birth. "Is this normal?" "What does a contraction feel like?" "What does the day of labor look like?" "What is a Doula?" I want every mom's birth story to be peaceful, happy and a memory that they will love to share. Birth Story podcast is my way to provide childbirth education through story telling in the comfort of your home and to prepare a mom for motherhood with any birth story that unfolds for their pregnancy, labor and delivery. If a pregnant mom uses an OBGYN, a midwife, a doula, a birth doula, or has a home birth, water birth, natural birth, C-section, cesarean birth, hospital birth, medicated birth, epidural birth, pitocin birth, an induction or induced labor, are having multiple babies or a single baby, a birth plan or no birth plan; I started this podcast to help moms learn and prepare for their labor and delivery and birth though birth story telling.
