In this episode, Kendra Mitchell walks us through her experience with birth and she tells us about how elective cesarean sections can be beneficial. She was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari malformation after her first baby, which is a hemorrhage of the brain stem into the spinal cavity. So, straining to push a baby can be dangerous.
Kendra's first two births were at home with a midwife, but she knew that women with Chiari don't usually have natural births. After moving away from their hometown, there weren't a lot of options for having a natural birth. So for the birth of her youngest, she had to give birth in a hospital.

You may be camera shy, especially on the day you give birth. But Gladys's favorite piece of advice is if you don't like some angles, you can always delete them, but you can never go back in time to photograph the birth of your baby.
When you're in labor, it's so easy to get swept up in the other little things happening around you. How your partner is supporting you through sweet gestures may go unnoticed while you are focused on pushing. And birth photography captures all of those small moments for you to see later!
