About this listen

This book is a personal narrative chronicling the author's journey through pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. Throughout the narrative, the author emphasizes the importance of intentionality in selecting medical providers, self-advocacy, stress management, and maintaining open communication in relationships. Reflections on lessons learned underscore reliance on faith and God's support throughout the journey.

The memoir recounts the author's harrowing experience of dealing with COVID-19 while pregnant and highlights critical lessons learned, such as the necessity of seeking second opinions, listening to one's body, valuing community support, and making proactive health decisions. The author stresses the significance of self-advocacy and the strength found in faith and community during times of crisis.

The book delves into the challenges faced during labor and delivery, detailing emotional and physical struggles, including the decision to undergo a vaginal birth after a previous C-section (VBAC). It highlights the supportive roles of medical professionals and explores preparations for the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the unique considerations of race and gender in preterm birth outcomes.

Ultimately, the narrative culminates in the successful delivery of a baby girl, Oluwatobiloba, at 26 weeks, underscoring the joy and triumph of childbirth regardless of the method. The author emphasizes faith, resilience, and the invaluable support of loved ones and health-care providers. The book concludes with reflections on lessons learned, particularly the importance of faith, choosing joy, standing together as a couple during challenging times, and recognizing one's worth beyond the birthing process.
