Melisha: Three Births and an Adoption, Failed Epidural Leads to Journey in Health & Wellness

The Golden Hour Birth Podcast

In this episode, we hear the inspiring story of Melisha, a mother who has given birth three times and also gone through an adoption journey. Melisha shares her experience of navigating motherhood and wellness, and how it has led her to become an advocate for others.

Melisha always knew that she wanted to have natural births. She felt strongly about the importance of trusting her body and allowing the birthing process to unfold naturally. She had an epidural with her first birth but it didn't work on half of her body so she got to experience what it would be like to birth medication-free. Her first two births went smoothly and without complications, and she felt empowered and proud of herself.

However, Melisha's third birth was more challenging. She had back labor, and the experience was longer and more painful than she had anticipated. Despite the challenges, Melisha persevered and gave birth to a healthy baby.

In addition to her birthing experiences, Melisha also shares her journey of adopting her son. She talks about the challenges and joys of the adoption process, and how it has deepened her understanding of the importance of health and wellness for all.

Throughout her story, Melisha emphasizes the importance of being an advocate for yourself and others. She encourages listeners to prioritize their health and wellness for their whole family, and to be vocal about their needs and preferences. And she reminds us that even in the face of challenges, we can still find strength and resilience within ourselves.

Overall, Melisha's story is a testament to the power of natural birthing, the joy of adoption, and the importance of advocating for ourselves and our loved ones.
