How2Mom Client, Mercedez shares her Birth Story in perfect timing as her little guy is just about to turn one. What started as a High Risk Pregnancy with a genetic heart condition turned switching providers at 36 weeks for a low intervention hospital birth. From being told she would only be allowed to deliver her baby with assistance aka a vacuum or forceps to pushing her baby out all on her own in just an hour. So many amazing nuggets to learn from this strong mama about advocating, listening to your intuition, and self-care. Make sure to listen until the very end to hear the most amazing parenting advice I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing your powerful story with the world, Mercedez.
