McKenna's Birth Story- Part II

A couple weeks ago I dropped my first podcast episode after having McKenna! I shared all about her grand arrival into the world. Today I released a second part to her birth story explaining the medical challenges that I faced directly leading up to and immediately following birth. Over the past four months I've shared some of what we've been going through on Instagram, but this episode was a longer form way to just throw everything into one place for those who are interested. Basically if you want to get up to speed on the Remicade, the postpartum preeclampsia, the staph infection of it all.... tune in. 

I debated not putting out this episode because I didn't even know where to start. Each of these issues was a separate experience that could have their own discussions around them (and maybe they will someday!). This really just touches the surface of each of these postpartum experiences. Hopefully this episode brings some awareness to some of these complications, but it will definitely serve as a way to get you up to speed on the postpartum journey up to this point. It's a good baseline before I begin more frequent updates. I think it was important to share these experiences because they were integral in a lot of what I have experienced postpartum, especially from a mental health perspective.
