Trigger warning: This podcast discusses Birth Trauma and PTSD

This episode really fires me up.

As we near my son’s second birthday the glances at what I’m drinking and outright questioning when I’m going to have another baby has started. And I get it. Babies are exciting and cute and tiny and full of potential.

BUT when we ask someone “When are you having a baby?” We begin the cycle of removing the human making the baby from the equation.

The human being who may be trying to conceive and having trouble. The human being who is questioning whether or not they want to grow their family. The human being who is still recovering from trauma and PTSD.

In this episode I update you on my recovery from my traumatic birth and fourth degree tear. What I am considering as I start to think about growing our family. My fears, rational and irrational. And why it’s time to stop leaving the mother out of the equation.

We matter.
