Birth Story 12: Molly: Freestanding Birth Center Birth After Pregnancy Loss

The MamasteFit Podcast - Un podcast de MamasteFit Podcast

Molly shares the story of her unmedicated birth at a freestanding birth center, after a previous first trimester pregnancy loss. In Molly's birth story, she had a "retained placenta" and because of some risk factors that she had during pregnancy with anemia, they took more of an active management approach to delivering her placenta in order to minimize the amount of postpartum bleeding that she was having so that she didn't have complications associated with her anemia.
