26. Caitlin's Birth Story with Baby #2 (unmedicated water birth)
In this episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Meg and Caitlin share the powerful and redemptive birth story of Caitlin’s second pregnancy — the arrival of baby Gianna. From navigating a subchorionic hemorrhage and pelvic girdle pain to going into natural labor during historic flooding in Vermont, this is a second birth story you won’t forget.
Caitlin opens up about how prenatal fitness helped her manage pain, what it was like to experience false labor, and why she ultimately chose a membrane sweep at 40 weeks. She also walks through her mindset shifts from her first birth experience to this one — and the unexpected ways her labor progressed quickly the second time around.
If you're looking for a real birth story podcast that blends honesty, education, and a little humor, this episode delivers. Whether you're in your third trimester or simply love hearing empowering birth stories, you’ll walk away reminded of just how strong and capable moms are.
Topics we cover:
- Coping with a subchorionic hemorrhage in early pregnancy
- Using prenatal fitness and chiropractic care to manage pelvic pain
- What to know about membrane sweeps and natural labor prep
- Real talk about false labor vs. early labor signs
- The wild reality of giving birth during a Vermont flood
