From Infertility to Birthwork and Creating The Lifespan Birth Method™ with Toni Curtis - S7 E96

<p>After 17 years of misdiagnosed infertility and repeated early miscarriages, I became a mom against the odds. That deep desire to have a family is what pulled me into this work.</p><p>My first birth nearly killed me. My daughter was stuck, I told them the position I needed and was ignored, and three hours later it became an emergency. Forceps, a fourth-degree tear, a hemorrhage. I almost died on that table. Then I had to fight to breastfeed my own baby, after being told my infertility was the reason they couldn&#39;t help. It wasn&#39;t.<br></p><p>I&#39;ve since parented my children through real medical conditions, including sickle cell, and learned firsthand how often families are sent home without answers.</p><p><br></p><p>Today I&#39;m mom to two loud, joyful kids tearing up my house. My son just wants to play Uno. My daughter is a princess who spins on the floor constantly. Everything I survived became the reason I refuse to let anyone who walks through my door go through what I did.</p><p><br></p><p>I&#39;m the founder of Birthwise, a Charlotte-based maternal and women&#39;s health practice, and the creator of The Lifespan Birth Method™, an integrated approach that treats birth as a lifespan event, not a 48-hour clinical one. I support families through fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, train new practitioners, and work with insurers and policymakers on better maternal care. My two-year partnership with AmeriHealth Caritas saved an average of $2,000 per birth and is now expanding statewide across North Carolina.
