“What Have We Done?” Kat’s Raw, Honest Birth Story

Amy and Kat are back in the studio together again, and it felt so good to have her here! She’s sharing baby Zoey’s birth story, and it didn’t go the way she planned. Kat hoped for a natural birth, but after more than 20 hours of labor, the doctors made the tough call to have a C-section. She opens up about how scary it was, and about the emotions that came after, including the honest “what have we done?” moment once they were home. There were tears, and if you’re a new mom navigating the baby blues, we hope her words remind you that you’re not alone.

Plus, a listener asks how Kat handled visitors and boundaries after Zoey was born (yes, including family), we answer some of your labor questions, like whether everyone shakes during labor and how cervix checks actually work, and we explain why Rh incompatibility matters most in a second pregnancy.
