Uncertainty breeds panic. This has been especially true as we have navigated the world of Covid. For Stephaine the uncertainty played into her existing anxiety and made the last few months of pregnancy unbearable.
Listen as she shares her story and why postpartum has been so much easier than pregnancy and delivery.
Stephaine was already working from home, so the world shutting down didn’t change much for her in that way. But as she got closer and closer to delivery, her friends and family kept asking questions that she didn’t have answers for.
She’d already scheduled a c-section because she was scared of trying to deliver vaginally. Her mother had a very traumatic experience and she didn’t want to chance having the same. The question then became, because it wasn’t medically necessary, would she be able to have her c-section?
Would the hospitals even be admitting? Would she have to birth at home?
All of these questions caused her anxiety to spike and she spent the last few months of her pregnancy in constant fear. She ended up having her birth plan play out just as planned. Then postpartum was a breeze.
Listen in to hear it all.
