*Hi guys! Liesel here. I wanted to let you know that the Mommy Labor Nurse podcast as you know it is currently getting a HUGE facelift! In the meantime, please enjoy this re-air of a fan favorite episode!! And stay tuned to my instagram for updates on when the new and improved Mommy Labor Nurse podcast will be back with all new episodes!* ****** This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, I’m excited to be answering some questions submitted by listeners from the podcast hotline! First, we have a mom-to-be who is hoping for a VBAC. She explains that she’s already feeling some discomfort around her C-section scar. She is wondering if this could indicate an increased risk for uterine rupture and if pursuing a VBAC is a safe option for her. Next, we have Taylor, a second-time mom who is curious if her second labor will be similar to her first, which involved very frequent contractions that lead to an epidural she was hoping to avoid. If you want to submit your question to be featured on the show, all you have to do is call the hotline and leave a voice message! The number is 919-213-8719. And if you like what you hear, you can listen to Episode 168 which has the same format. A peek at the questions we covered: Why do I have a tugging sensation around my C-section scar? What is scar tissue? What can affect the sensation of scar tissue? What is a uterine rupture? As a VBAC candidate, am I at a higher risk for uterine rupture? Should I try having a vaginal birth after I had a C-section? What factors should I consider when deciding for a VBAC? What are the benefits of a VBAC? Is my second labor going to be the same as my first? Does labor get shorter with the more babies I have? ****** Want to erase anxiety and actually feel excited about birth?

Caitlin shares that she and her husband always knew they wanted to grow their family through adoption and biologically, and was never really quite sure in what order it would happen.

So in the summer of 2019, they started the whole process and by July they brought their sweet baby boy home.

In the meantime, please enjoy this re-air of a fan favorite episode!! And stay tuned to my instagram for updates on when the new and improved Mommy Labor Nurse podcast will be back with all new episodes!* ****** In this episode, Malori shares her hotel birth story with us via c-section, and talks about her fertility struggles. Malori’s Bio: Malori Mayor is a registered nurse, military wife to Mark, and new mom to Max! After an almost 2-year struggle with infertility, holistic treatments, and surgery for endometriosis, Malori and Mark were finally able to conceive their first child. Aside from being a wife and mom, Malori is passionate about helping other women also going through infertility who want to treat it holistically. While going through infertility herself, she began helping others share their stories of infertility and miscarriage on her blog, and also started a podcast, Restoring Fertility Naturally. Malori spent most of her pregnancy in Germany, where her husband was stationed with the Army, and then gave birth to Max after moving to California. In whatever little free time she has, she enjoys reading a good book, baking, and going on neighborhood walks with her little family and their German Shepherd, Zoey. Malori’s Birth Story: Other than moving from Germany to California in my third trimester, I had a pretty easy and normal pregnancy and planned on an unmedicated birth. We lived in a hotel for most of my third trimester while waiting on military housing, so I was fully prepared to bring home our new baby to a hotel room. But otherwise I expected all to go smoothly. I got the biggest surprise of my pregnancy when I went to my 40 week appointment and it was found that baby boy was breech! He had been head down just the week prior. My doctor reviewed all the options with me and I opted for a version the next morning and then would wait it out for natural labor to start. However, baby boy had other plans! I went into labor that evening, as we were moving items into the house we had just gotten the keys to. I was totally in denial that it was labor but finally realized that the contractions weren’t Braxton Hicks anymore! My doctor had me come to the hospital to get checked around 12:30am, and Maximilian John was born via c-section at 1:54am on January 8, 2020! He was born healthy, pink, and screaming, and him being laid on my chest with my husband by my side was incredibly glorious. Even though a c-section was my last choice, that moment was priceless and a beautiful culmination of all our fertility struggles. Max is now 8 months old and is such a happy and active boy!

I've been L&D RN for a little over two years. These podcast stories help me everyday to become a better nurse. I can't imagine what some mothers go through. This story helps me to really see the mother's point of view. <3
