Healing Birth with CarlaFibroids - Lessons on Tuning in and Trusting - Zarna’s StoryThis podcast episode delves deep into the art of tuning into our bodies and trusting the messages we hear in response.

Zarna reluctantly agreed to a Misoprostol induction at the hospital. On entering her room, the obstetrician proclaimed, “What are you doing, your baby is not coming out this way!”, believing that Zarna’s uterine fibroids would be in the way of birthing her baby...
