What if you had to make an unimaginably difficult decision about your unborn child's future? In a heartfelt conversation, we're joined by the incredibly brave Rachel Redmond as she shares her emotional journey of terminating a wanted pregnancy due to a rare fetal anomaly called Dandy Walker Malformation. Through Rachel's story, we aim to bring awareness, understanding, and much-needed support to those facing similar challenges.
As we navigate Rachel's experience, she opens up about the complexities of reproductive rights and the importance of storytelling in her healing process. Discover how Rachel found strength in her friendship with her best friend, who was pregnant with twins at the same time, and learn how they navigated the emotional terrain of joy and mourning together. Rachel's story is a powerful testament to the resilience and support that can be found even in the most difficult times.
Finally, we explore the significance of having a strong foundation and coping skills when faced with life's hardships. Rachel shares insights into her healing practice and emphasizes the necessity for a secure space to process our experiences. Join us in this poignant conversation that highlights the importance of building a society where everyone has access to vital support systems during their darkest hours.

Medical Disclaimer:
This podcast is intended as a safe space for women to share their birth experiences. It is not intended to provide medical advice. Each woman’s medical course of action is individual and may not appropriately transfer to another similar situation. Please speak to your medical provider before making any medical decisions. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that evidence based practice evolves as our knowledge of science improves. To the best of my ability I will attempt to present the most current ACOG and AWHONN recommendations at the time the podcast is recorded, but that may not necessarily reflect the best practices at the time the podcast is heard. Additionally, guests sharing their stories have the right to autonomy in their medical decisions, and may share their choice to go against current practice recommendations. I intend to hold space for people to share their decisions. I will attempt to share the current recommendations so that my audience is informed, but it is up to each individual to choose what is best for them.
