Difficult Postpartum Journey Followed by Two Redemptive Postpartum Seasons


Sarah and her husband had their first daughter in 2018. After an uneventful pregnancy and relatively smooth birth, they got thrown into a very challenging postpartum season. Sarah experienced severe postpartum depression and anxiety made worse by nursing struggles that led to her exclusively pumping, dietary issues with her daughter, and colic that kept everyone from getting much sleep. After coming out of the fog of that experience, she was resolved to prepare for her second postpartum journey differently. She did a lot of emotional/spiritual work around her experience and also surrounded herself with as many supports as she could find. She enjoyed a much smoother postpartum season with her second and third, as well as a beautifully redemptive journey with her eldest daughter. She also experienced a precipitous labor that almost led to a car birth with her second as well as an unexpected transfer to a birth center at 38.5w with her third.
