NEW EPISODE OF THE BUILT TO BIRTH PODCAST IS OUT NOW 🎙️❤️ Find it anywhere you listen to podcasts!
Ashley went into pregnancy hoping and preparing for an unmedicated birth… and then an unexpected preeclampsia diagnosis completely changed the plan.
In this episode, Ashley shares what it was like finding out she needed to be induced, navigating decisions she never expected to face, and ultimately having a birth that still left her feeling incredibly empowered.
We talk about choosing a birth team you trust, advocating for yourself when plans change, making informed decisions in the moment, and why preparing for birth matters even when your birth looks nothing like you imagined.
Because birth preparation isn't about controlling exactly how your birth happens. It's about having the tools and confidence to navigate it when things change. 🤍
And wait until you hear how her baby was born… 👀
