When your birth story doesn’t go as planned, it can leave a mark on your heart that shows up in postpartum in ways you didn’t expect. In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey—becoming a mom 9 years ago through a cesarean I never imagined—and how that unexpected path made my postpartum heavier than it had to be.

We’ll talk about the hidden connection between your birth and your postpartum mental health, how to recognize when those lingering emotions might be affecting you, and why pushing it aside because you “should be happy” can keep you stuck.

If you’ve ever replayed your birth in your head, felt guilt or shame over your feelings, or wondered why postpartum feels harder than you thought it would…this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re postpartum. And you deserve to be seen.

Why Dilation Doesn’t Predict Birth

You’ve heard it. You’ve maybe even stressed over it:

“You’re only 1 cm…”

“You’ve been 4 cm for weeks…”

“You’re not making any progress.”

But here’s the truth: Your cervix is not a fortune teller.

In this episode, we’re calling out the over-focus on cervical dilation and why it’s such a misleading measure of how “close” you are to labor—or how labor is progressing.

You’ll learn:

• Why dilation doesn’t predict labor onset
• Why internal checks can create unnecessary anxiety
• How “failure to progress” gets misused (especially after cesarean)
• Why you get to decide how much you want to know about your cervix

Spoiler alert: Progress doesn’t always look linear.

And your cervix is not a countdown clock.

Let’s get into what real labor progress looks like, and how to trust your body even when you’re not “measuring up.”
