Ep. 31 Cheryl (traumatic postpartum and a healing 2nd birth) A Child is Born
-
- Cristianesimo
Cheryl is from New Mexico, is a former school counselor, and is now a stay at home mom to two young boys. Cheryl had an uncomplicated pregnancy and was active and danced all through pregnancy. She was planning for an unmedicated birth at the hospital after checking out a birth center and getting the feeling it was not the right place for this birth. Cheryl's last week of her first pregnancy was during Holy Week with her water breaking on Good Friday after praying with her husband. Nitrous Oxide and Pitocin were used during labor. At the time of her son's birth thick meconium was present and her son was one of the few unfortunate ones that ended up with Meconium Aspiration Syndrome and spent time in the NICU. Following the birth of her first son Cheryl suffered from PPD, and sought out support from her midwife. This midwife sent her to the psychiatric ER (threatening to send her involuntarily if she didn't check herself in). Cheryl reports the birth of her second son to have been a positive and healing experience.
