128: A Second Chance with Chance

Get ready, because this is going to be an emotional one… The decision to have a second baby seemed like an overwhelming decision after the traumatic and extremely hard experience I had with my first birth and postpartum. But, through time, I felt ready and found what I had control over and was able to turn it into a beautiful, empowering experience.

 

I dive into what taking control with my second birth looked like by having an elective, gentle cesarean (the first time this happened for my hospital) and how everything was so different the second time around - the birth experience and postpartum was different, Chance was different, and I was a different person.

 

Every day I am so grateful we took the chance to have Chance - it was truly a second chance in every way.
