This episode talks about some triggering issues, so if you aren’t in a space to think about miscarriage or traumatic birth, feel free to skip - we totally understand. It’s always so important for us to give a voice to everyone who is one and done, and sometimes the reasons behind that choice are painful. We just want to reiterate that this space is for people who are OAD both by choice or by circumstance.
We discuss the many responses we received about gray-area birth trauma and how it feels when your labor and delivery experience isn't what you hoped it would be. We also chat about traveling with an only child and creating a support system for yourself and your child, even as an introvert!
This week’s questions:
If you are introverted, how do you create and maintain a support system for yourself and your only child?
Can you share any tips, anecdotes, or stories about traveling with your singleton child?
Would your birth plan had been different if you knew at the time you would be one and done?
Feel free to write in about anything you want, each week we will be taking questions or stories on a wider range of topics so that everyone’s voices can be heard.

[email protected] if you have thoughts on these questions or find us on Instagram or Facebook to be a part of the conversation.
