Four Hospital Birth Stories: PUPPP Rash, HG, Inductions, Preeclampsia, NICU Stay, Fainting from Epidural

Experienced mother, African-American, who had prior textbook birth experiences at a very young age (I had my first at 21 and my second at 23). Third pregnancy at 32 through me through a loop despite being more prepared (financially, emotionally, and physically).

Induction due to preeclampsia at 36 weeks. Hard pregnancy that ended with a great pain-medication free birth with chaotic after birth experience. My daughter and I had an extended stay at the hospital due to the pre-e medication and I had to leave the hospital without her while she stayed in the NICU.

Needed

There is overwhelming evidence that higher standards of nutrition support fertility, birth outcomes, and lifelong health. Unfortunately, the prenatal vitamin industry is failing us, leaving 95% of us depleted during one of the most nutritionally demanding times in our lives. Most prenatal vitamins only provide bare minimum nutrition, while Needed goes beyond bare minimums with products that can meet the needs of our minds, bodies, and babies. I’m excited to partner with Needed and offer you a special discount. Get 20% off your first order with code BIRTHHOUR at thisisneeded.com.

I feel confident recommending Needed because their products are rigorously third-party tested and endorsed by over 10,000 women’s health experts. Needed’s prenatal multivitamin comes in two forms – capsules or a delicious vanilla powder. In addition to the prenatal multivitamin, Needed has created bundle options to meet your needs, not only during different stages of pregnancy but also while trying to conceive and postpartum. As a mom of three, I especially love their collagen, pre/probiotics and cognitive support supplement.

Head over to thisisneeded.com to find your perfect bundle and use code BIRTHHOUR for 20% off your first order and up to 40% off select plans. I’ve talked to so many Birth Hour listeners who have discovered Needed through the podcast and I love hearing the feedback that they are feeling better during their pregnancy and into postpartum since starting with Needed. That’s thisisneeded.com and use code BIRTHHOUR.
