Community Birth Story: A Surprise Ending with Cindy Walters

What do you do when your birth is going well then very suddenly isn’t? That’s the path Cindy’s birth took. 

To give you some peace of mind, Cindy and her son are healthy and well, but they had a very unusual turn of events in their birth journey. In my 20 years working with pregnant folks, this one made my jaw drop.

In this episode of Yoga|Birth|Babies I speak with new mother, Cindy Walters. Cindy graciously and openly shares her unique birth story. She also discusses how she has processed her experience and grieved for the birth she didn’t have. This conversation highlights the importance of having the mental flexibility to adjust and surrender expectations and how vital it is to have a supportive team who will unwaveringly rally around you. 

In this episode you will learn:

  • Learn a little about new mama, Cindy. 
  • How Cindy discovered the direction she wanted to take her birth.
  • How Cindy assembled her birth team.
  • How Cindy prepared for deviations from her birth preferences. 
  • Cindy’s birth story.
  • What was going through Cindy’s mind when things took an abrupt change of direction. 
  • How Cindy has processed the experience
  • Grieving for a birth she did not have.
  • Learning to let go of control and ask for help. 
  • Postpartum
  • What Cindy has learned about herself from this experience.
  • One tip/piece of advice Cindy offers new or expectant parents.
