11: Casey's Birth Stories: Unplanned C-Sections and Healing After Birth
Episode description
Episode 11: Casey's Birth Stories: Unplanned C-Sections and Healing After Birth. Join us as Casey Backus, one of our founding members shares her infertility story and journey to motherhood and the birth stories of her sons. Casey's first birth started with a 37-week induction due to preeclampsia, a prenatal complication, that ended in an unplanned cesarean birth. Casey prepared for her second pregnancy for a VBAC, a vaginal birth after a cesarean, but found herself in a similar situation at the end of this pregnancy with preeclampsia and induction. During this labor, Casey chooses another cesarean birth after over a day of labor. Casey shares how supporting other c-section moms in their postpartum recovery with scar mobilization has helped her heal from her own journeys.
