Birth Story 89: Farrah’s Two Birth Stories: 30-Hour Hospital Marathon vs. 3-Hour Bathroom Sprint

Roxanne (certified nurse midwife) interviews one of their childbirth educators, Farrah (a nurse and doula), about two very different births after years of infertility, PCOS, and thyroid issues. Her first pregnancy was a surprise during COVID; ending in delivering an OP baby after extended labor, internal maneuvers, a deep second-degree tear, and bleeding linked to an overfull bladder. Her second birth was a rapid, intense labor with Miles Circuit attempts, shower transition, 911 call, and an unplanned home bathroom delivery on all fours before EMS transport!00:00 Welcome to MamasteFit00:21 Meet the Hosts01:09 Introducing Farrah01:48 Infertility and PCOS Journey03:59 Surprise Pregnancy Discovery06:49 Finding Perinatal Fitness Passion08:26 Pregnancy Prep and CrossFit09:25 Husband Away for Fellowship10:24 Labor Begins at Home15:35 Active Labor Water and Vomiting18:18 Hospital Arrival at Seven Centimeters20:27 Long OP Labor and Maneuvers28:48 Birth Hemorrhage and Recovery31:57 Tear Repair Explained34:35 Tongue Tie and Feeding Struggles38:29 Transition to Baby Two Story38:59 Prenatal Struggles39:47 Finding the Right Doula42:12 Early Labor Signs46:01 Miles Circuit Chaos48:50 Shower Spiral Calls51:25 Dad Steps In55:02 911 and Bathroom Birth01:00:01 Placenta Wait Hospital Transfer01:03:36 Feeding and Allergy Journey01:06:44 Baby Three Plans Wrap Up01:08:39 Podcast Outro and Offers————🎉 Grab Your Copy of Training for Two → https://amzn.to/3VOTdwHYour go-to guide for prenatal fitness, birth prep, and postpartum recovery.👇 Start Preparing for Birth Today📥 Download our free Birth Prep Circuit Guide → https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prepare-for-birth-circuit📥 Grab our free Pelvic Floor Prep Guide → https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prepare-your-pelvic-floor-for-labor/Learn how to relax and lengthen your pelvic floor to support a smoother labor and pushing phase.💻 Explore Our Online Programs:Whether you're pregnant or postpartum—we’ve got you covered with expert-led fitness and education:🏋🏻‍♀️ Prenatal & Postpartum Fitness Programs🎓 Childbirth + Postpartum Education Courses→ https://mamastefit.com🤱 Just Had a Baby?📥 Grab our free Postpartum Core Workouts → https://mamastefit.kit.com/coreStart reconnecting with your core and feeling strong again—safely and confidently.———📲 Follow Us on Instagram for Daily Tips + BTShttps://instagram.com/mamastefit———✨ Shop Our Favorites:⚡️ Electrolytes we love → https://drinklmnt.com/mamaste🌿 Supplements we trust – 20% off with code MAMASTEFIT → https://thisisneeded.com/ginaandroxanne👖 Maternity clothing we actually wear – 10% off with code MAMASTEFIT → https://rstr.co/lovesteady/3500——
