Description

In this episode of Mama Becoming: Birth & Beyond, I sit down with Dana to hear her experience from conception through labor and birth.

Dana shares how family expectations played a role in her decision to have a baby, the emotional highs and lows of her pregnancy, and how childbirth classes helped her feel more prepared. She opens up about the physical toll of her first trimester, finding energy in the second, and navigating placental calcification, which led to an earlier-than-expected delivery.

Her labor story includes powerful support from her mum and husband, a decision to have an epidural, and nearly two hours of pushing — a raw and relatable reminder that every birth unfolds in its own way.
