Birth Story 20: Tammy: How Her Two Hospital Births Influence Her Birth Work
The MamasteFit Podcast - Un podcast de MamasteFit Podcast

In today's episode, birth doula Tammy Ireland shares her two birth stories from the early 2000's. Her first baby was a hospital birth with an epidural, Pitocin, and a provider who was completely detached and disrespectful, leaving her filled with doubt and regret. Her second birth was a much more positive hospital birth experience, and both have really shaped how Tammy approaches her birth work as a doula. Tammy discusses how the hospital birth experience has really changed since had her own children, and the importance of listening to that mom gut intuition in birth and in motherhood. 0:00 Introductions 06:23 Tammy’s first birth story 08:58 Tammy agrees to the epidural and Pitocin 24:35 Tammy’s second birth story, placenta previa, low fluids and a breech baby 26:24 Tammy goes past her due date and agrees to induction 28:46 How Tammy’s births influenced her birth work ---- Want to share your birth story on our podcast?
