61. Army Captain Jessica Cooper Talks Long Induction, Geo-Baching, Postpartum Recovery While in PME

In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Captain Jessica Cooper, who is a medical service officer serving in the Army. During Jessica’s pregnancy she saw midwives through the community hospital on Fort Campbell, and she had a really positive experience there. She ended up being induced when her baby started having heart decelerations during a 40 week check up, and even though it was a very long, 46-hour induction, she was still able to give birth vaginally. Due to some tearing, Jessica had a longer than average recovery, and she also started a Captain’s career course shortly after giving birth, so the postpartum period was a little hectic.
