52. Roxi’s Reflection on Her Recent Third Birth Experience

Today’s episode is a special one: Megan interviews Roxi about her recent birth experience! Just a couple of weeks ago, Roxi welcomed her third baby into the world, and…her first BOY! In today’s conversation, Roxi reflects on what it was like preparing for and experiencing this sweet milestone moment. Unlike her first two pregnancies, Roxi admits this one felt much more laid-back (as in, she wasn’t as consumed by all the details because, well, life was happening)! We’re chatting about Roxi’s expectations for her birth (which looked totally different than what she pictured), what helped her get through this “unexpected” labor and delivery, why it’s okay to be vulnerable during this time, and more.Through it all, Roxi walked away with a deep sense of peace, accomplishment, and contentment. Whether it’s your first baby or your third, this is a beautiful reminder to give yourself grace, advocate for what you want, and cherish the sweetness of the journey!Episode Recap:What life looked like for Roxi leading up to this pregnancyHow this pregnancy felt different from her first twoBirth “plans” vs. expectations going inWhat she pictured her labor and delivery would be likeThe surprising start to labor and being induced a week past her due dateRoxi’s unexpected unmedicated birth + what it took to get through itThe most challenging moment + the mindset work that helped her push throughWhy vulnerability matters during labor and birthLessons she learned + how this birth changed herRoxi’s advice for anyone preparing for birthOne word Roxi uses to describe her birth story**Disclaimer: The information shared in this podcast is NOT meant to be taken as individual or medical advice.
