A Vaginal Twin Birth Story – Kimberly Sherman
In this episode of The Birth Hour, Kimberly Sherman shares the birth story of her twin boys. It’s crazy to me that this was the first time that I actually heard a vaginal twin birth story. I know there are plenty of women who give birth to their twins vaginally but I just hadn’t met one yet, so this was a really special conversation to me.
Kimberly prepared so well for her boys’ birth and went into the experience knowing the type of hospital birth that she wanted and was a great advocate for herself. I’m so excited for you all to hear her story!
Kimberly also shares some amazing resources in her episode, and even emailed me with a few more after we talked, so please take the time to check out the ones that are applicable to you.
