Birth, Confidence, and Loss: Keshia's Remarkable Story *audio*

In the 38th installment of The Road to Wisdom Podcast, Keshia candidly recounts the remarkable tales of bringing her first two children into the world. This episode delves into Keshia's transformation from maiden to mother, shedding light on the pervasive societal notions of "bouncing back" and the unrealistic expectations placed on women during pregnancy and postpartum. Naïvely, Keshia entered the hospital during her first pregnancy with minimal awareness of how the medical system falls short in supporting natural childbirth. However, she emerged from the hospital having successfully undergone a physiological birth.
Despite the challenges surrounding her second pregnancy and birth, this experience bolstered her confidence, leading to a profoundly intimate second birth experience in the comfort of her own bathroom, where her baby boy entered the world in the loving embrace of his father.
Throughout this episode, Keshia and Chloe share not only humorous anecdotes but also stories of sorrow and loss intertwined, as Keshia and her family coped with the unexpected illness and subsequent loss of her father. We invite you to join us for this emotionally diverse journey.
