Vaginal Twin Birth Story
Laura had originally wanted a non-medicated homebirth, but changed her plans when she discovered she was expecting twins at a 9 week dating scan. Her pregnancy went fairly smoothly, but towards the end of her pregnancy, her babies started to measure differently. Laura was induced at 35 weeks and gave birth to a 4 lb 14 oz baby girl and a 7 lb baby boy!
Listen in to hear Laura's full story and how she gave birth to her twins vaginally.

S2E19: Melissa's Birth Stories
Melissa had her first baby in 2016. Overall things went well, but she did end up with a second degree tear. After this birth, Melissa had a procedure called a sphincterotomy. She was told any future births would need to be a cesarean or she would risk further tearing and may end up needing a colostomy bag. Melissa had accepted this, but when she became pregnant with her second, she wanted to explore all of her options.
Melissa went on to have 3 more vaginal births without tearing! Listen to hear how she advocated for herself and how her 4th birth experience was different while having a doula. She also shares her experience being readmitted 3 days later with postpartum preeclampsia and shares some of her favorite postpartum resources.
