Ep. 16 - An American in Spain (Simone‪)‬ The Birth Abroad Podcast

Simone followed her heart and desire to travel several years ago and moved to Spain to be an au pair and see where the adventure would take her. The family she worked introduced her to some locals so that she could begin developing her friends network... which later led to her meeting her future husband!



Although experiencing an early miscarriage in the beginning of her TTC journey, Simone and her husband conceived their son shortly after. Although she had hoped for an unmedicated water birth, circumstances involving her water breaking without contractions following led her to require an induction which she found challenging to cope through. But after contracting a fever and receiving a minor episiotomy, her baby boy made his grand entrance into the world.
