Jessica shares the empowering stories of both her births, offering insight from her unique perspective as an athlete, law enforcement professional, and passionate advocate for low-intervention childbirth. Both were planned hospital births, but each began unexpectedly with her water breaking. During her first birth, Jessica felt a loss of control and struggled to manage her contractions. Determined to have a better experience, she learned from the first journey and decided to hire a doula for her second birth. This decision, combined with the lessons learned from her initial experience, led to a more positive and enjoyable birth the second time around.
