Meghan F.- One Unmedicated Hospital Birth with Doula Support, GBS+, NICU

Meghan of Saskatoon, SK shares the pregnancy and birth story of her son Nolan on this episode.  Her and her husband Mitch conceived quite quickly after only two cycles of trying and while Meghan thought she'd be very excited, she didn't initially feel that way.  She talks about how her feelings evolved throughout her pregnancy and the anxiety she had surrounding birth, as well as the choice to hire a doula for birth support.  Physically, Meghan also found the pregnancy to be quite difficult as she suffered with back and hip pain.  A few weeks before her due date, Meghan's water unexpectedly broke in the night.  Things took off from there and she shares how she coped with contractions and ended up having an unmedicated birth despite having expected she might want an epidural.
