This week I’m sharing my conversation with my cousin, Marie. Marie is a wife and mom of two gorgeous girls, but her journey to motherhood has not been easy. During her first birthing experience, Marie suffered severe complications that were nearly fatal. Today she is sharing part of her story in hopes of encouraging other moms to listen to their bodies and speak up for themselves when something doesn’t feel right. If you are pregnant or have experienced birthing trauma, please take care while listening and know that you are not alone. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
