167. MyMaine Birth: Krista's two birth experiences and the story of the Bar Harbor Lobster Pound

Send us Fan MailThis week I chat with my friend Krista about her two cesarean birth stories in Florida and the choices that helped her feel steady through major curveballs. This conversation is packed with relatable, practical insight for anyone searching for positive cesarean birth stories.   Krista describes the mental shift from early pregnancy fear to learning how to make informed decisions, ask questions, and stay grounded even when the plan changes fast. Her story widens into a bold life change: moving from Florida to Maine, homeschooling, and restoring the Bar Harbor Lobster Pound near Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. Krista and her family rebuilt a closed, rundown restaurant while raising little kids, even living in an RV during a busy season. They designed the space around real family needs: room to run, lawn games, easy parking, and a relaxed atmosphere so parents can actually enjoy a meal. It’s an inspiring blueprint for work life balance, and it circles back to the core message: you can make choices that fit your body, your baby, and your life, even when the path isn’t what you expected.You can find the Bar Harbor Lobster Pound by visiting it, the address is:414 ME-3, Bar Harbor, ME 04609BarHarborLobsterPoundBar Harbor Lobster Pound on InstagramBar Harbor Lobster Pound on FacebookAdditional Resources:MyMaineBirth.comClosing song by Kate Sutherland.  You can find Kate's community songs and deep nature connection work online at KateSutherland.ca
