Ep192: Tes’s Birth Story - An Empowered First Time Birth For a 40+ Year Old Mom
Description
This is the first birth story of 2023 and it’s such a wonderful, happy, joyful one. Tes's pregnancy journey included an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and an almost IVF cycle that was halted by Covid shutdowns.
At 43 years old she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I really like how she maintains a positive attitude but is still honest about the hard parts. She’s real about loss, frustration, and pain - and she admits that yes, she did cuss but she never cussed at anyone.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
-What age Tes and her partner were when they decided to try and get pregnant
-Whether she conceived with or without IVF
-How the onset of the pandemic affected her pregnancy plans
-How she managed pregnancy loss
-Why Tes looked at being a patient of “advanced maternal age” as a good thing
-What made her care team so special
-How her pain management affected her birth
-Why she was rushed to an emergency procedure after her daughter was born
