Her first was long and full of interventions she hadn't planned on, and it ended with a postpartum hemorrhage that took her about eight weeks to recover from. Her second was so fast she could barely believe it was happening. It ended with a retained placenta, an ambulance transfer, a blood transfusion and a D&C. I've had a postpartum hemorrhage and a transfer of my own, and I wanted this conversation out there because so many of the hard parts of birth happen after the baby is already here. What stuck with me most is how calm Sarah stayed through all of it, and all the little graces she can point to now when she looks back. 00:00 Welcome to Natural Birth for Catholic Moms 03:40 Meet Sarah 04:30 Birth one: choosing a birth center over the hospital 08:30 Vomiting, an IV, Zofran, and breaking her water 10:45 A one-liter postpartum hemorrhage 12:15 Recovering from postpartum hemorrhage the first time 16:15 Pregnant again and birth prep with a toddler 22:30 Contractions at 2 a.m. on her due date 25:15 "You're nine centimeters" 29:30 Fetal ejection reflex and an eight-minute push 31:30 Retained placenta and manual extraction 34:00 Transfer, transfusion, and a D&C 41:45 What two births taught Sarah about trust and grace 46:45 Would they choose a birth center again after two hemorrhages?
