In this powerful episode, we sit down with Katie, a mother of six, who shares her harrowing experience of birth trauma and medical negligence. Katie's story of a uterine rupture during an induced labor led to severe disabilities for her daughter and life-altering consequences for her own health.
Despite having no prior c-sections, Katie suffered a uterine rupture after the use of Pitocin - a complication that went unrecognized for far too long. She takes us through her journey, from the ignored warning signs to the aftermath of the birth, including her daughter's ongoing health challenges and her own loss of reproductive capacity.
But Katie's story doesn't end there. Learn how she transformed her traumatic experience into a mission of education and advocacy, working tirelessly to spread awareness about birth choices and the potential risks of certain medical interventions.
This episode offers crucial insights into patient rights, the importance of informed consent, and the need for attentive medical care during childbirth. Katie's narrative is a testament to the strength of maternal instinct and the power of turning personal tragedy into a force for positive change.
Whether you're an expectant parent, a birth worker, or simply interested in maternal health issues, this episode provides invaluable perspectives that could change the way you think about childbirth practices.
