07. "Surrender" with Doula and Birth Photographer Heather Gallagher. Birth Story!
A calm UNMEDICATED HOME BIRTH is what award winning photo journalist and doula Heather Gallagher decided she wanted when she found out she was pregnant. But, as you'll find out during her story, life sometimes has a way of throwing us a curve ball. In this episode we talk about what it’s like to plan for a home birth, have all of your prenatal care with a midwife, be two and a half weeks overdue, labor at home with a team of midwives and then suddenly experience a dramatic and necessary change to your birth plan. We also talk candidly about breastfeeding, mastitis, mental health struggles, postpartum sex, and much much more.
