Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Birth Isn't Healing

Q: When the midwife offered to induce labor, did you feel any pressure to accept?

I really wanted to experience that feeling of being held in womanhood again, with the support of an experienced midwife.

Restored By Grace: From Medicalized Birth, to Trusting the Body

Q: Was it hard to take in the feedback from your midwives that your body knows what it's doing?

Yes, there was a concern about whether I would hemorrhage again, and I needed assurance that everything would be okay.

Restored By Grace: From Medicalized Birth, to Trusting the Body

Q: What would you say to a woman who may be listening to this and who has had a traumatic birth?

You are a good mom and that you did the best that you could in the situation that you thought you could. Your feelings are reasonable, and it's important to heal from what you went through.

A No-Comprises Birth

Q: Can you talk a little bit about that and maybe speak to someone who's listening to this that is maybe struggling with that right now?

One of the things that I like to work through with the couples that I'm working with is how they see themselves in the hierarchy of birth, flipping it so that they see themselves at the top of the decision making.

Jenna Found Healing Through Birth Photography

Q: So when you're finally home, how you felt about this birth experience?

Horrible. I truly believed in the first two weeks of my son's life that my husband and I would not be able to stay married.
