Description

Jaimie revisits her birth story, originally shared on the podcast when it was called "If These Ovaries Could Talk." Celebrating over seven years of normalizing LGBTQIA family narratives, Jamie reflects on how her expectations of an idyllic birth experience were upended, a metaphor she connects to the current socio-political climate and the Thanksgiving week. After years of unexplained infertility, Jaimie finally got pregnant. One would think that would mean she was due an easy birth. But one would be wrong for thinking that. From birth to busted boobs. Hear how her second child made his way into the world.
