33 | Alexandria, Patrick, Rosie, Annie, Clark & Teddy - 5 Births, Induction, C-Sections, HG, Placenta Previa, Stillbirth at 22 weeks and a Rainbow Baby

In this episode we hear Alex sharing the birth of her five little ones. Alex is a birth photographer and she’s sharing her journey towards stepping fully into being a birth worker while having her babies. We talk about all things birth, like choosing your OB, following your gut-feeling, induction, c-sections and how important it is to try to create your own safe space to feel empowered though our birth experiences. Alex is very passionate about lifting up the fact that every birth is beautiful, no matter how our babies come into this world which I find such an important discussion to have.

Alex also shares her 4th birth with her son Clark who was born sleeping at 22 weeks gestation and how that experience shaped her and her family. She started Captures for Clark which provides birth story and postpartum bereavement services free of charge to families who are facing similar prognoses that they faced with Clark: ‘saying happy birth day and goodbye all at the same time’. She also shares how it was like going into her last pregnancy with Teddy after experiencing a loss.

Listen in for a wonderful story, thank you Alex for sharing!
