[Birth Stories] Leaning Into Peer Support After Her Unplanned Surgical Birth, with Dr. Amber Thornton
Birthful - A podcast by Adriana Lozada - Wednesdays
Categories:
Dr. Amber Thornton worked hard for a healthy pregnancy and an unmedicated vaginal birth, but she didn’t expect her water to release before 39 weeks. Despite an early hospital admission, labor progressed right along… until it didn’t. She shares with Adriana the fears she had to contend with while having an unplanned surgical birth, and how having intentionally set up her village of mutual support was invaluable in getting through early nursing difficulties and her cesarean recovery.
