Today’s birth story is part two of a 2-part story, and will be especially helpful for expectant parents whose baby gets a clubfoot diagnosis. In part 1, Joe & Beckie shared about their journey of their son, Elliot, getting this diagnosis early in pregnancy and part of their birth story. In this episode, they’ll continue detailing their birth story of a long, 30-hour induction several weeks before their due date due to low amniotic fluid. Beckie shares lots of details about the ways that her OB helped her feel involved and informed in the decision-making process every step of the way. Because she was not even quite 37 weeks when the induction took place, there are particular challenges to the induction that Beckie shares. They’ll also share a bit about early clubfoot treatments for their son.
