Sarah and her husband had their first daughter in 2018. After an uneventful pregnancy and relatively smooth delivery, they fell into a very difficult postpartum season. Sarah experienced severe postpartum depression and anxiety exacerbated by nursing struggles that led to her exclusive pumping, feeding issues with her daughter, and colic that prevented everyone from getting a good night’s sleep. After emerging from the cloud of that experience, she decided to prepare for her second postpartum journey in a different way. He did a lot of emotional/spiritual work around his experience and also surrounded himself with as much support as he could find. She enjoyed a smoother postpartum season with her second and third, as well as a beautiful redemptive journey with her first daughter. She also experienced an intense labor that almost led to a car birth with her second as well as an unexpected transfer to a birth center at 38.5w with her third.
