In this episode, I share my raw and unscripted birth story, reflecting on the realities of labor.
I discuss the importance of preparing for the unexpected in childbirth and the impact of birth trauma.
Through my experience, I hope to emphasise the need for open conversations about birth trauma and the importance of mental health in the healing process.
Reliving my birth story wasn’t easy, but it feels important to share—I actually teared up a bit listening back to this.
This is my full birth story told in true Nerissa fashion—every detail, every emotion, every truth.
It’s raw, it’s messy, it’s mine.
If you’ve been through it, are preparing for it, or just want to hear a real story without all the BS fluff, this one’s for you.
