Carly shares her pregnancy journey: guilt with conceiving after fertility struggles, navigating the maternity system, advocating for herself and a birth that didn't go "as planned" but was still empowering. "I felt exhausted, relieved, ecstatic, in love, so proud, but bitterly disappointed. Do I regret having a birth plan? HELL NO! Do I regret consuming ALL the positive birth stories? Not one bit! Did I feel like a badass having done so much preparation and feeling so ready to navigate a system that I do not believe has my back? Absolutely!"
