Kayla’s Story
After years of infertility and miscarriages, my husband and I finally became pregnant through embryo donation (IVF) and I gave birth to our daughter preterm via emergency cesarean in October of 2020. I had a high risk pregnancy that ended in an emergency cesarean birth and some NICU time for my daughter. Nothing had prepared me for postpartum life in the NICU, and it is so important to me to provide families with support and resources so they feel supported and safe. In July of 2022 we welcomed our second daughter into our home via domestic adoption. Parenting two under two has grown us in new ways, and we are so thankful to be parenting our rainbow babies.
That's why I started The Birth Chronicles, to support families through their journeys by instilling strength and reducing fear with unbiased support, evidence based practices, and love.
When I’m not doula-ing, I’m maxing out my phone’s storage space taking pictures of my girls, reading on my Kindle, going on family walks with our dog Pearl, or baking with sourdough.
