Kayla shares both her birth stories today. Her first birth was in an international hospital in Bangkok, Thailand in 2022. Kayla worked to create a team to support her desire for a low intervention birth in a culture where heavy intervention is the norm. Kayla found out at just 7 weeks that she was pregnant with twins. Even though her dad is a twin it came as a total shock. They decided to return to the US to have the twins and be near family for support during the first few months. Kayla sought a provider that would support a vaginal twin birth even if twin B was breech. Kayla was 38&6 and was scheduled for an induction the next day, she decided to take castor oil to try for a more natural induction and avoid Pitocin. She went into labor just a few hours after taking it and had a healthy vaginal unmediated delivery of her twins in less than 6 hours.
