This is such a wonderful interview that I have with Kiyana, who speaks to both of her birthing experiences. The conversation gets rolling right away with Kiyana’s beautiful understanding and gratitude for her first birth experience and how it shaped the way her second baby was brought into the world.
In this conversation, Kiyana dives into:
*Being the only girl in a family of 6 children and taking on the role of Matriarch quite soon
*Meeting her partner and getting pregnant, then having to navigate HG in that first pregnancy
*Taking castor oil, on her own accord, which caused her to become dehydrated and transferring for fluids
*Transitioning from 4cm to 9cm after receiving fluids at the hospital and birthing her baby easefully with positive support from the medical staff
*Suspecting she was pregnant with her second baby when her milk supply started to dry up around 9 months postpartum
*Knowing that this second baby would be born at home, so she could have the birth that she truly wanted
*Leaning into the trust that everything would work out for her and being deeply connected to gratitude before she began her birth process
*Moving through a pleasurable birthing experience and birthing her baby while standing at the bathroom sink
*and a quick little chat about the importance of sharing the stories of black women birthing in their power!
Kiyana’s story is amazing proof that you can create the birth experience that you want by accepting, trusting and holding gratitude for all that you are doing in those moments and that birthing in pleasure is completely possible.
