So I'm so happy you're here.
2:25
Well, I'm so glad too.
2:27
Well, I feel like I would really love to share a little bit.
2:31
You know, you brought up our name, the Association of Perinatal Psychology.
2:36
What even is prenatal and perinatal psychology, right? Is this even important? Yes.
2:41
And Ashley, feel free to interject a little bit if you want to add anything in, but I'd love to talk about what this field is.

Yeah, well, it's kind of funny, Kelly, that you just brought up coming from, you know, a household where you didn't know much about your own birth.

I had the complete opposite experience where my family, my mom and dad loved to share my birth story.
14:33
We talked about my brother.
14:35
I have an older brother and then I have a younger sister.
14:38
And we all three had very different birth experiences.
14:41
And I always thought that that was very normal.
