A successful induction, two very different labors, and an enema PSA
from Arrivals: A Birth Story Podcast · host Merelise Wilson
Just like during birth, all modesty is out the window in this episode! Join Merelise and her sister-in-law, Abby, as they reminisce on the birth of Abby’s two children, who are now fourteen and twelve. Abby had a successful induction with her first and then went into labor naturally with her second, and both were born vaginally in a hospital but were very different experiences. They talk about watching her favorite comfort rom-coms during her induction, her first-born’s adorable cone-head thanks to a long labor, the magic of a good enema, being hangry during labor, feeling cooped up in post-partum, a surprise pregnancy and then miscarriage, and so much more.
