Birthing Beyond 35

Episode 4 | Kyle, two babies, Vacuum extraction, D and C, Postpartum hemorrhage, Retained placenta, Ashermans Syndrome, Placenta Accreta, Hysterectomy

Hayley Byrnes

Kyle joins me on the show to discuss her extremely traumatic first birth at 32 years old and delves into the challenging years that followed in her quest to conceive baby number two, which she did, giving birth three days before her 40th birthday.

When I say Kyle faced challenges, I'm not talking about morning sickness or an achy back, the episode title is just a short synopsis of some of the topics we discussed.

You’re going to learn a lot today, and I’ve put each term and its medical description in the show notes below. Kyle was so open about these truly testing years.

I hope you enjoy today’s episode.
