Melissa shares her experience of having "Placentia Previa" with her first baby and some natural things she did to help her placenta move while she was pregnant. She also shares how she went on to have “Vasa Previa” with her second baby. This is a rare condition where the fetal umbilical cord blood vessels run across or very close to the internal opening of the cervix. She’ll tell her story and how it was medically necessary to have a cesarean with her second baby versus the "intervention free" birth she had hoped for. Melissa will touch on how our expectations and reality can be so very different and how she came out of her experiences feeling positive.
