Episode 43: Regina's Birth Story

Regina was planning to be an egg donor for her brother and partner but during the testing she was told eggs were more mature than they should be and that she should have her own children first before considering egg donation. Regina and her husband Josh were soon pregnant with their first baby.

Regina was induced with her first 2 pregnancies and had good experiences with both births. After the births of their daughters, Regina and Josh decided they were done having babies and scheduled a vasectomy. The procedure was canceled due to Covid-19 restrictions limiting elective procedures. Josh did eventually have the vasectomy completed and they shortly discovered that they were expecting another baby and had conceived the week before the procedure.

When Regina found out she was pregnant for a third time, She decided she wanted to try something different with this pregnancy. She found a provider who was supportive and encouraging with avoiding induction, she hired a doula, and spoke with other people who had suggestions on preparing for a non-medicated birth.
Regina woke up to use the bathroom one night and felt a pop! Her water had broken and she immediately started having contractions.

Join us next Tuesday to hear the rest of Regina's fast and furious 1.5 hour birth story!

Regina also tells us about her work as a certified creative movement instructor and her Little Feet classes. These movement classes aim to develop healthy parent/child relationships, build capable and confident bodies and integrated brains
