190 Rainbow Babies Part 2 with Kelli the Labor Nurse on Changing the narrative for redemptive birthing
This is Part 2 of my discussion with Kelli! During the podcast interviews we are going through 3 different birth stories as well as two losses. Each story is very unique in its own way and just goes to show how every birth can be different. We talk about Kelli's first birth being an induction with various interventions, her experience with two pregnancy losses, as well as the anxiety/mental health struggles she had during pregnancy, to having rainbow babies and a more hands off informed and empowering birthing experiences. 3 Key takeaways from the podcast that listeners will learn today: Each birth is different Informed choices Finding a supportive OB or midwife is very important not just for birth but for pregnancy loss 3 Keywords that people would want to search when looking for content that you would provide in this episode: Natural Birth Hospital Birth Pregnancy after loss Favorite baby product or new motherhood product? What would you buy for someone who was currently pregnant or a new parent?: Favorite motherhood product: a pumping bra! It took me three kids to discover the magic of being hands free by using a pumping bra! I literally always held my breast pumps to me and when my last baby was in NICU it was such a game changer to be able to use my hands! In Kelli's words: "I am a registered nurse in the Kansas area who has a passion for all things birth. As a die hard patient advocate, I want people to know that their birth doesn’t have to be at the hands of a 9-5 doctor and that people have every right to have a say in their care as well as be able to make informed decisions about their birth without being talked down to or coerced."
