Welcome to The C-Section Experience Podcast

The C-Section Experience is a podcast created by close friends and neighbors Jen and Bethany. Jen is an obstetric anesthesiologist who has cared for hundreds of women during c-sections, and Bethany is a nurse and birth educator.
Both are c-section moms—Jen has had both a c-section and a VBAC, while Bethany has had three c-sections. Together, they combine professional expertise with personal experience to provide education, support, and empowerment for c-section moms.
Their mission is to help women prepare for and process their c-section birth experiences, advocate for themselves, and feel seen and understood. From answering listener questions to discussing topics like spinal anesthesia, shivering during c-sections, recovery tips, VBACs and the emotional complexities of c-section birth, Jen and Bethany tackle it all with warmth, honesty, and humor. They also have a special interest in trauma-informed care and pregnancy after loss, drawing from their own experiences to create a safe, supportive space for their listeners. Each episode feels like a heartfelt conversation between friends—full of laughter, love, and understanding.
