Episode 85SN: Her C Section Recovery Led her to Holistic Healing: Kayshaun’s story, Part I
In this episode, you’ll hear how my guest rejected her doctor’s insistance on a hysterectomy and saved her own life. This is a show that shares true experiences of getting pregnant being pregnant and giving birth to help shift the common cultural narrative away from the glossy depictions of this enormous transition you can find on all kinds of media, to a more realistic one. It also celebrates the incredible resilience and strength it takes to create another person and release that new person from your body into the world. I’m your host, Paulette Kamenecka. I’m a writer and an economist and the mother of two girls.
Today you’ll hear how my guest learns to trust her body and advocate for herself–a critical skill in any medical procedure, maybe even more critical in childbirth; she had four births and each was visited by something unexpected that required her to develop these skills. In this episode I also include the insights of an associate professor of gynecology and obstetrics from Johns Hopkins. What follows is the first part of our conversation.
