180. 4 pregnancies/3 Live Births/1 Miscarriage with L&D Nurse Practitioner Alexis Sullivan
Alexis shares her very different birth stories from the viewpoint of a previous L&D RN!
In her own words, " I am a previous L&D RN now working as a nurse practitioner, but still have a passion for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pregnancy #1 (39+6 week elective induction at hospital with epidural and 9lb4oz baby boy and <12 hours start to finish), pregnancy #2 (10 month fertility journey, GD, 39w spontaneous FAST labor, 8lb11oz baby boy #2), pregnancy #3 (missed miscarriage, D&C, and complications—spinal headache, retained clots needing cytotec then excess bleeding requiring methergine), and pregnancy #4 made his grand entrance in a quick unmedicated induction with pit and AROM."
