Ashley had a positive and empowering unmedicated hospital birth delivered by a midwife and supported by an amazing doula. After a 12 hour labor, her daughter, Mae, was born after just three pushes but, unfortunately, ingested a lot of fluid during delivery which caused her to have a short stay in the NICU. Ashley did have a retained placenta that had to be manually extracted.

Needed
Today’s episode is sponsored by Needed. Needed is the leading women’s health supplement brand recommended by nutritionally-trained practitioners. While most perinatal supplements include the bare minimum of the nutrients needed during pregnancy, Needed’s products are based on the latest clinical research and in-practice experience of nearly 6000 practitioners. Needed has all your needs covered, from your prenatal vitamin to pregnancy-specific Pre/ and Probiotics, to egg quality support, sleep, stress, immune and hydration support, as well as your protein needs for blood sugar balance and postpartum healing. Needed’s Complete Plan delivers unparalleled nourishment for every phase — whether you’re trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum! Instead of having to pair 6 different products together to meet your needs, I love that Needed has simplified things by bundling together four core products you need, in an easy and flexible monthly plan. Use code BIRTHHOUR for up to 40% off including on monthly plans at thisisneeded.com.
