  • Emergency Induction, Postpartum Hemorrhage & Finding Your Voice After Birth with Morgan Kuppenbender
    Jan 2 2026

    Episode 21: Emergency Induction, Postpartum Hemorrhage & Finding Your Voice After Birth


    with Morgan Kuppenbender


    In this episode of Girly Pop Birth Talks, Becca and Arielle sit down with Morgan Kuppenbender, a mama sharing her first and only birth story—a vaginal birth that unfolded very differently than expected.


    At 31, married, and balancing life as both a wedding planner and tech sales professional, Morgan opens up about her pregnancy, emergency induction, and the moments during birth that forever changed her understanding of advocacy, trust, and postpartum healing.


    Together, Becca, Arielle, and Morgan explore:

    • Experiencing an emergency induction

    • Delivering a healthy baby boy

    • A retained amniotic sac and postpartum hemorrhage (850 mL blood loss)

    • The emotional and physical recovery that followed

    • Processing birth trauma while stepping into motherhood

    • How perspectives on control, surrender, and self-advocacy evolve after birth


    This conversation is raw, grounded, and deeply validating—especially for parents whose births didn’t go according to plan but still resulted in profound growth and resilience.


    Nothing is off-limits in this episode. With Becca and Arielle holding space, Morgan’s story reminds us that birth can be both beautiful and hard—and that telling our stories helps other mothers feel seen, supported, and less alone.


    ✨ If you’ve experienced an unexpected birth, medical intervention, or postpartum complications, this episode is for you.

  • Episode 20: HALF-BAKED SPECIAL!!!
    Dec 25 2025

    Grab a snack, get comfy, and come hang 😌 This week is a very unserious girly chat. Becca and Arielle talk careers, the most common things we see as a doula and lactation consultant, shared birth-world chaos, hot takes, and the stuff we text each other about but finally said out loud. Cozy, candid, and slightly unhinged (in the best way).
