Lo Mansfield

I'm a labor RN who left my patients for my own babies when my first daughter was born. I loved delivering my own girls, delivering my patients' babies, and writing about it all. I live in Denver with my husband and two daughters, writing, mom-ing, and (maybe) figuring it out. You can find Lo on Instagram @thelabormama.
