Kami: 48 Hour Induction, Shoulder Dystocia, Postpartum Recovery, and the Power of Healing Therapy
As a mother, the journey to meet your child is etched in your memory with all its twists and harrowing turns. Kami, a pediatric speech language pathologist, bravely steps into our space, inviting us into the most vulnerable moments of her life as she recounts the birth of her two children. Her story, a tapestry woven with the threads of anxiety, resilience, and profound growth, underscores the unpredictable nature of childbirth and the indomitable spirit of motherhood.
Our conversation with Kami dives into the heart of her experiences, from the strenuous 48-hour induction of her firstborn to the complex emotions surrounding her second child’s planned C-section. She opens up about the postpartum period, a time of healing and introspection, where journaling and therapy, specifically EMDR, played critical roles in her recovery. Kami’s narrative, punctuated with candid discussions about mental health and the power of support systems, offers a compelling and deeply personal look at the realities of parenting newborns.
As we conclude this episode, we extend our deepest gratitude to you, our listeners, for joining us on this intimate journey. As we part ways, remember, each story of birth is a testament to the diversity and resilience that lies within all birthing parents. Until next time, hold onto the strength of these stories, and may they guide you through your own chapters of parenthood.
