52. Roxi’s Reflection on Her Recent Third Birth Experience
Today’s episode is a special one: Megan interviews Roxi about her recent birth experience!
Just a couple of weeks ago, Roxi welcomed her third baby into the world, and…her first BOY!
In today’s conversation, Roxi reflects on what it was like preparing for and experiencing this sweet milestone moment. Unlike her first two pregnancies, Roxi admits this one felt much more laid-back (as in, she wasn’t as consumed by all the details because, well, life was happening)!
We’re chatting about Roxi’s expectations for her birth (which looked totally different than what she pictured), what helped her get through this “unexpected” labor and delivery, why it’s okay to be vulnerable during this time, and more.
Through it all, Roxi walked away with a deep sense of peace, accomplishment, and contentment. Whether it’s your first baby or your third, this is a beautiful reminder to give yourself grace, advocate for what you want, and cherish the sweetness of the journey!
