Birth plans are just that—plans. But when reality takes a different path, it doesn’t mean failure; it means growth. In the spirit of being compassionate truth-tellers, something that is at the core of all we do at Needed, we are continuing our series of birth stories, covering a vast spectrum of birthing experiences but all celebrating positive outcomes even while sometimes dealing with complicated circumstances, with the idea that knowledge is power and the more you know, the less you might be blindsided by your own birth story. With April being Cesarean Awareness month, we chatted with Needed Team Member Robie Helm, who shared her experience undergoing a c-section–something she had not initially planned for.
