Yá’á’tééh! To kick off our series, Chantal Dominguez, a Diné wife and mother, will be sharing her pregnancy and birthing experiences on this episode. We appreciate Chantal for sharing her beautiful stories with us. The purpose of this series is to provide a space for birthing families to share their experiences to help other birthing families become informed about the ways pregnancy and birthing can happen.
Disclaimer: We’d like to let our audience know that these birthing stories include real people with real stories and may include topics on traumatic pregnancy and birthing experiences leading to loss of life, miscarriage, depression, suicide, and grief. If you are listening, please take breaks as needed. If these topics are too much for you to handle, please join us again for our next episode and take care of yourself in the meantime.
