In this Birth Story Friday episode, Audrey shares her two scheduled Cesarean birth stories.  Towards the end of her first pregnancy, Audrey found out that her baby was breech, and after an unsuccessful. ECV, she opted have a scheduled Cesarean birth. At four months postpartum, she found out that she was pregnant with her second child, so she opted for another schedule Cesarean birth (which was a very different experience from her first!). Roxane and Gina discuss the risks of having a short interval pregnancy, meaning your pregnancies are really close together, and why Audrey may have opted to have another scheduled Cesarean birth. We also talk about how our prenatal fitness can not only support our birth, but also our recovery, even if you're having a scheduled Cesarean birth!
