In this episode we talk with Melissa Gambone about her journey of becoming pregnant, having a breech baby which resulted in a cesarean at the start of the COVID pandemic, and how she personally helps other mamas work with their bodies through intuitive movement.
Knowing that Melissa had Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), she was told by conventional doctors that it would be difficult to become pregnant so she switched to a more functional medical approach. She learned how to balance her hormones and gave her body time to heal. When attempting to get pregnant they successful got pregnant only after a few months of trying on their own.
She also was aware that she had Factor V Leiden, which is a genetic blood clotting condition. Which resulted in need to use blood thinner injections daily during her pregnancy which increased to twice a day as she got closer to delivery.
As her pregnancy progressed, it was determined that her baby was breech and at 39 weeks a cesarean was preformed to safely bring her little girl into this world. This was in March of 2020, which was the start of the COVID pandemic and caused a lot to change for her birth plan and the early months postpartum.
The family also took part in a big move, from Pennsylvania to South Carolina, while Melissa was 6 months postpartum. Now, at 15 months postpartum Melissa uses her story to guide her in her business Motion Melissa where she helps other women, especially mamas, learn to be more intuitive with their movements.
