27. Our Children Are Our Greatest Teachers: My First Natural Birth Story

Amy Lowney

Today’s episode is a special one for me, because I’m sharing my middle son’s birth story! My middle son, Gavin, just turned 7 years old (time really is a thief). Since becoming a mom, I’ve learned that children are our greatest teachers, and Gavin truly has been for me.


In today’s episode, I’m talking about my 2nd pregnancy, what my preparation and “plan” was for giving birth, what my labor & delivery ended up being like, and more. My postpartum was challenging in a lot of ways, and going from one to two boys taught me that I gave a LOT of myself away. I finally had an epiphany and realized that I play a key part in my story and in my life. Ultimately, this means that if I play a key role, then I have the power to shift how my life looks too.


I hope you enjoyed listening to my second baby’s birth story! I really believe that our children are our greatest teachers; I’m grateful my sweet Gavin taught me all about self-love, and how vital that is. I want to encourage more women to prepare for their births, share their birth stories, and at least find more wisdom and some guidance along the way.
