In this episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Meg and Caitlin share the powerful and redemptive birth story of Caitlin’s second pregnancy — the arrival of baby Gianna. From navigating a subchorionic hemorrhage and pelvic girdle pain to going into natural labor during historic flooding in Vermont, this is a second birth story you won’t forget.
Caitlin opens up about how prenatal fitness helped her manage pain, what it was like to experience false labor, and why she ultimately chose a membrane sweep at 40 weeks. She also walks through her mindset shifts from her first birth experience to this one — and the unexpected ways her labor progressed quickly the second time around.
If you're looking for a real birth story podcast that blends honesty, education, and a little humor, this episode delivers. Whether you're in your third trimester or simply love hearing empowering birth stories, you’ll walk away reminded of just how strong and capable moms are.
