Induction Part 2: Birth Story

In this episode, Rosy breaks down the story of the birth of her daughter. This is for all the people out there who want to hear more about the process of birth than "It's a miracle" and "It's all worth it in the end!" We talk about how her induction worked, some gory details about childbirth, the part Rosy hated most (surprise, it came after the baby arrived), and how, yes, it was all worth it in the end. If you are expecting, or expecting to be expecting at some point, this may be a worthwhile listen.

Rosy didn't know any of this before pregnancy, and no one really explained it, so here's a crash course! We conclude by talking about some weird side effects of pregnancy. Spoiler alert: The carpal tunnel is on the mend.
