Sophie and Jordan welcome Io, who shares the story of their birth in November 2016. In this conversation we explore how Io navigated changes to their birth plan that they were not expecting, challenges of labor monitoring, and what it’s like being a non-binary person giving birth in a hospital setting. We discuss how having the support of people you trust can be a key factor in having a positive birth experience when facing the unexpected.
This episode contains a birth story that includes an unexpected cesarean section, labor interventions, and body dysmorphia.
The "Homebirth Cesarean" book referenced in this episode can be found at the author's webpage.
