Just four months postpartum, Kelsey Hartland joins us from Wisconsin to share her birth story. As the owner of The Lofty Life aerial studio, Kelsey navigated relentless morning sickness through 20 weeks of pregnancy before learning she had a low-lying placenta. During labor, she experienced a non-consensual episiotomy moments before her baby was born—an event that profoundly shaped her birth experience. In this candid conversation, Kelsey reflects on the challenges of pregnancy, labor, and early postpartum, and the importance of informed consent in maternity care.
