Her journey toward motherhood includes pregnancy loss, staying positive and navigating through the season of infant loss, then facing pregnancy and COVID 19 at the same time, and then figuring out what giving birth during COVID 19 would look like for her and her husband.

Finding a midwife who would attend their home birth, changed their perspective on choosing a home birth. After learning to depth of knowledge and experience midwifery care entails, Madison was sold and she shares about the importance of every woman finding a care provider that they can trust.

#3: Kayla's Birth Story
Listening to POSITIVE BIRTH STORIES teaches you SO much about BIRTH and how to prepare yourself for it. For a first time mom birth holds a lot of unknowns and hearing a labor and delivery story can help clarify and eliminate fears about childbirth. In Episode 3 of the Built To Birth Podcast, Kayla shares how listening to positive birth stories inspired and educated her on the kind of birth that she wanted. She also tells us her own natural birth story sharing details about partner support, spending her labor in tub, the experience of having no epidural, needing an episiotomy, and giving birth for the first time during COVID-19.
Whether you are considering your options when it comes to a natural birth vs epidural, natural birth vs c section, home birth vs hospital birth, or whatever options before you, hearing another mama’s birth story can help you decide what is best for you and your baby. If you are considering a natural birth hospital birth, hearing stories of how women navigated their labor is so beneficial in preparing for what to expect.
This coronavirus birth story is filled with so much wisdom, joy, and hope and is such a positive birth story. This hospital story captures the beauty of how care providers work with women in labor to help them accomplish their goals, and for Kayla, it was to have a beautiful, empowering unmedicated birth story. But before I give much more away, give it a watch or listen to it on either an Apple, Spotify, or Google Podcast platform.
