I thought I was walking into a calm induction with snacks packed and a birth playlist queued up. What actually happened? A stat C-section, a miracle baby, and one of the scariest, most surreal moments of my life.
In this episode, I’m sharing Mateo’s birth story — the one that didn’t go remotely according to plan. From the moment my OB said “We’re inducing,” to being rushed into the OR surrounded by a dozen people, to meeting my son while feeling everything… this is the raw, unfiltered story of how it all unfolded.
It's part medical drama, part love story, and a whole lot of "what just happened?"
If you've ever had a birth plan go out the window or just want to hear how one mom made it through the most intense six minutes of her life, this one’s for you.
