[Birth Stories] So Was It a Waterbirth?, with Hailey McHone

Published: March 30, 2024, 4 a.m.

Hailey McHone\u2019s first birth was what her OB called "a textbook hospital delivery," which came with an epidural-Pitocin combo, and, frankly, little consent. She talks with Adriana about getting more intentional with her wishes and choices for her second birth and ending up with a confidence-boosting, self-affirming, physiological experience that included a concoction of grape juice and papaya nectar, some much-wanted chicken nuggets, and waiting for her sister to arrive. \n\nIf you liked this episode, listen to our interview on Informed Consent and our short episode on Real Talk About Vaginal Tears and Episiotomies. \n \nGet the most out of this episode by checking out the resources, transcript, and links listed on this episode\u2019s show notes page at Birthful.com.
