My Birth Plan Went Out the Window - Here's the Story
About this episode
In a world with beautiful photos and Instagram posts, social media can often romanticize pregnancy and birth and create high expectations for what your experience will or *should* be like.
And while birth is a beautiful and miraculous thing, it can also be intense, uncertain, and scary - despite even our best efforts to prepare, educate, and advocate.
Whether your birth went exactly as you dreamed it would, or your birth plans were thrown out the window, every birth is a miracle and your birth story holds its own unique beauty.
In this episode, Jordan shares her story of giving birth to her son, Shepherd, and talks about how she navigated a birth experience that didn't align with what she had originally imagined, but ultimately brought her the best blessing.
After walking through multiple pregnancy losses, and through the fear of this pregnancy being yet another loss, God was faithful and gave not only a healthy baby but TWO babies. 🌈🌈
Tune in to this episode to hear:
- How previous miscarriages affected her expectations for pregnancy and birth
- What Jordan did to educate herself about birth and advocate for herself in the hospital
- Ways she navigated decisions as unexpected challenges came up
- How she processed having a different birth experience than she had imagined
- What it was like to have two boys born in the same year
