Plancental abruption, bedrest, c-section, postpartum anxiety. Rachel tells her story of her rough pregnancy, traveling to Japan and being nauseous the whole time - and her story of having a placental abruption. In her vivid retelling, Rachel tells us what it was like to wake up in a pool of blood, be rushed to the ambulance, and then be on bedrest the rest of the pregnancy. Join us as Rachel tells her matrescecne story, and shares how having a solid identity was really important to her before she started having kids. As a photographer, she got her business running and then decided she was ready to have a kid.
