Overcoming Shoulder Dystocia: Samantha’s Hospital and Home Birth Stories
In this powerful episode of Triumphant Birth, host Jamie Raisleger welcomes Samantha Dunnavant, a mother of two, who shares her deeply personal journey through both hospital and home birth. Samantha opens up about her first pregnancy, where she felt uninformed and unprepared, and how listening to birth stories helped her better navigate labor the second time around.
She recounts the unexpected challenges of giving birth during COVID-19 and the harrowing moment of shoulder dystocia during delivery. Samantha reflects on how choosing midwifery and chiropractic care transformed her experience, offering more personalized and empowering support than she felt with traditional OB care.
Postpartum wasn’t without its struggles—breastfeeding difficulties, delayed bonding, and the silent weight of postpartum depression. Through it all, Samantha emphasizes the importance of education, self-advocacy, and support for women in their childbearing years. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that childbirth is not just a hurdle to overcome, but a destination that can transform and empower. Whether you're preparing for birth or healing from one, Samantha’s story is a testament to the strength and resilience of mothers everywhere.
