Welcome to today’s episode! Ellie is currently 37 weeks into her pregnancy with her third child. Just a few weeks ago, at 34 weeks, Ellie woke up to a bleed; a terrifying situation that put the realities and dangers of pregnancy right in front of her. This took her from the hospital right to her couch, where she’s been on doctor-ordered bedrest for the rest of her pregnancy.
Having experienced two natural births, Ellie was looking forward to doing it a third time. However, as with many things in life, it doesn’t always go as planned. And she is scheduled for a cesarean in a week. For someone who thrives on planning and control, you would think she would be excited about a routine c section, but it has brought on quite a bit of anxiety.
As if that weren't enough, Ellie is also in the midst of wrapping up work commitments, leaving her feeling like everything has veered off course. But as we all know, that’s just part of the rollercoaster ride of parenting!
Join us as Ellie shares her story, the uncertainty she faces, and the resilience it takes to navigate these surprise twists in the path to motherhood.
