BirthStory: Tali Koushmaro "I did it all!"

Tali was looking forward to her natural birth in the hospital. At the end of her pregnancy she discovered her baby was breech.  There began the journey of trying to flip her baby to be head down. From chiropractors, accupuncture, moxibustion, manual version, hand stands in the pool to standing on her head. She did it all! As her due date came closer Tali was faced with the reality a cesarean birth was likely.  She felt like every time she went in for her appointments another option was being taken away.  She began to search for stories of women who have been through this experience.  It was not easy to find stories about planned cesarean birth. Talk found that reaching out to her community and sharing her fear and anxiety gave her many unexpected gifts.  We discussed the cultural feelings and shame that is woven in birth experiences and why? Tali had an empowering cesarean birth and shares the process she went through to get sweet baby Micah in her arms. Enjoy
