45. MyMaine Birth Rachel's two birth stories with care of Back Cove Midwives in Portland

Send us Fan MailToday birth story guest is Rachel and she shares about her two birth stories at Mercy Hospital in Portland with care of Back Cove Midwives.   I do want to acknowledge that not all birth experiences go as planned.  For the mamas that are currently pregnant, you may want to shield yourself from potentially triggering stories.  I want to take this moment to honor your emotional well-being and provide a compassionate trigger warning.    Rachel's first story involves the use of Pitocin and extensive tearing with hemorrhage as well as the separation of mother and baby after birth due to her baby needing to be transported across town to Maine Medical Center in Portland.  To all the pregnant mothers listening, I encourage you to assess your emotional readiness for today’s episode.  If hearing stories of birth trauma might not be what you need at the moment.  Please skip this episodes and join me again next week for an empowering birth tale on Monday.For those who have recently experienced birth trauma yourself, I want you to know that you are not alone.  I see you, I hear you, and I am here to support you.  I offer a virtual service designed specifically for mothers who need to process their birth stories. My Birth Healing Sessions over Zoom provide a safe and confidential space to explore your emotions, find healing, and work through any lingering feelings of disappointment, fear, or grief.I am an experienced birth professional and I am ready to listen, offer guidance, and help you navigate the complexities of your birth experience.  If you’re interested in scheduling a Birth  Healing Session, visit my website or click here to book your session.  https://calendly.com/mymainebirth/birth-healing-sessionRemember, your story matters, and I am here to support you every step of the way.  Together, we can heal, grow, and find strength in our shared experiences.  Thank you for joining me today on MyMaine Birth and remember to take care of yourself and each other.  And as always, let’s keep the conversation going!  You can always message me over on social media, you can find me on Facebook and instagram  @mymainephoto.
