42. Satin's Hospital Birth Story: Beautiful pregnancy despite lack of family support, followed by hospital birth and experience of medical racism during postpartum care

In today’s episode I’m joined by Satin, who is an Army spouse, and she’ll be sharing the birth story of her son who was born at a hospital out in town in Oklahoma. Satin shares about the birth itself but also talks a lot about the lack of family support during her pregnancy, due to being stationed far away from community, and how that impacted her. She also talks about her very negative experience with declining some newborn procedures that she was uncomfortable with, and she shares the immediate fall out from doing so, and how that impacted her postpartum experience.
