#2 Ariana | Induced labours, traumatic first birth, postpartum depression, mama guilt, miscarriage, dealing with grief, positive birth with second

Ariana takes us through the ups and downs of her pregnancy and birth journey's here in Japan. Her first experiece started off on an uneasy note, which she feels "set the tone" for her daughter's birth. After a traumatic birth experience and dealing with postpartum depression, Ariana and her husband were ready to do things differently with baby number two. Unfortunately they lost the baby early due to a miscarriage. Not long after she gets pregnant again and is able to turn a new leaf with her son's positive birth experience.

Her story is one of strength & hope.
