We are back in Dubai and kicking things off with Marilyn telling us all about her birth story: how contractions felt, how she got through the pain, the role of her support system, including her husband Hadi, her doula Valerie, her mom and her brother.\xa0
Marilyn also updates on the cliffhanger from last episode: did she or did she not get an epidural?\xa0
Finally, Marilyn shares what happened after her daughter was born and how she and her team (which now included baby Gabrielle) got through it all.\xa0
This episode is dedicated to Gabrielle Nour Kabalan, born on June 25th at 8:24PM.
We believe that sharing our stories will help people feel less alone, and we\u2019d love to hear your birth stories! Write to us on sayhi@whoruntheworldpod.com or on Instagram @whoruntheworldpod .\xa0 \xa0
