216 || Unmedicated Induction with Julia Winn with a side of BV, Listeria, and Appendicitis

In this podcast episode, Julia Winn shares her unmedicated Pitocin birth story, detailing her journey from induction to delivery. Her induction plan for a cervical ripening process without an epidural, her unexpected exposure to listeria, and the decisions she faced as labor progressed. From the intense contractions brought on by Pitocin to the incredible support of her doula (Catherine 😀) who is part of Heidi's local doula company Birth Story Boutique and her amazing partner. Despite how difficult it was, the experience was empowering, and she reflects on the deep love and awe that come with bringing a new life into the world.
