Ep 74//When You Don’t Feel Heard by Your Provider and Healing from PTSD with Amanda Janzen
This will be the last episode before baby mcclain#4 comes into this world! Who knows by the time this gets posted I may have a little baby in my arms. I will be posting updates and hopefully some videos and pictures shortly after birth over on my Patreon for members only! Members will be the first ones to hear my birth story!

Today Amanda shares her birth story and is open and honest about her struggle and healing journey of birth trauma. I’m so happy I got to speak with her about this topic because her trauma had come in the third stage of pregnancy.
This is a story of not being listened to and the consequences and trauma that happen when the medical system fails. This is an emotional episode so if you’re pregnant right now you may want to skip this episode!
Amanda shares one of the most helpful tools she has used to overcome PTSD!
This is a powerful episode and you won’t want to miss!
Amanda Janzen, momma of two, is a “retired” OB nurse and now the owner of The Midwest Momma Collective where she practices as an (IBCLC) lactation consultant and birth/postpartum doula. She had a traumatic hospital birth with her first baby and has since had a healing “home away from home” birth with her second during the Covid-19 pandemic. With nearly identical labors/births and postpartum complications, she knows the importance of trauma informed care and the lasting impact trauma has in the postpartum period.
