Sierra’s Birth Story: From Surprises to Standing Firm

By: Care Messer | Advocacy, Birth Story, Podcast | March 27, 2025


I’m excited today as we have Sierra to share her incredible birth story with us. If you are watching on YouTube you can see her adorable little one. Sierra took my Hypnobirthing class from her work location and her partner joined from home. A definite advantage of attending an online childbirth series!

In this episode, Sierra dives into the nitty-gritty of her unexpected pregnancy journey, her fears surrounding birth, and the real-deal experiences she faced in the hospital. We’ll talk about how she stayed strong and knew exactly what she wanted for her birth and her baby, even when things got tough. 

We’ll also chat about how she prepared mentally and physically for an unmedicated birth, navigated through hospital language and interventions, and championed her way through it all. With her advocacy practice on high alert and a hilarious recount of having an inebriated husband by her side, this episode is all about empowerment, preparation, and keeping your cool. Can’t wait for you all to tune in and get inspired by Sierra’s phenomenal journey!
