It’s Amy here, and today I have the pleasure of speaking with Molly Chesterson, who is a member of the Expecting and Empowered community and a mom to 3 beautiful little girls. Molly and I have a really special connection, because I got to be there for her third birth, which is the one that she shares about today on the podcast. In this episode, you’ll hear all about Molly’s third birth story and why she chose to do a planned induction, her experience with doulas, and why this birth was different than her other two. She  talks us through her journey, how she was able to prepare herself mentally and how important it was to have a trusted source advocating for her during the birth of her third daughter.We want to empower you with the tools and information to help you figure out what it is that you want during childbirth, and to help provide you with more clarity in advocating for yourself during this experience, which is why we think that you’ll get so much from this conversation! If you’ve enjoyed this episode and what Molly shares here, we would be so honored if you shared it and tagged us, @expectingandempowered and @lovebabyandtoddler on Instagram so that we can see it! We’d also be so grateful if you would rate and review our podcast in your favorite podcast app, because that’s the best way for a new podcast to get more people to listen. Finally, as a podcast created for mommas by mommas, we want to wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day! To celebrate you, we are offering 25% off our monthly or yearly app subscription.

111. HERstory Molly Chesterson: An Honest Look at Motherhood and Partnership with Three Kids

Both of Molly Chesterson’s labors have started with inductions but under different circumstances. After having an epidural for her first birth, Molly was hoping for an epidural free experience the second time around. It was an intense close call at the end, when she went from 4 centimeters to baby in about 30 minutes, while her husband was getting food! Get the most of this episode by checking out the resources and links listed on the show notes page at birthful.com/podcast-scheduled-induction-without-epidural-storySign-up for my Postpartum preparation courses at Birthfulcourses.comDownload Birthful's Postpartum Plan FREE when you sign up for our weekly newsletter!
