The lovely Joya Van Der Laan with her children Sophie (2.5) and twins Emily and Jude (10 months). Joya had a healthy first pregnancy with Sophia but had a more difficult time with her labor. She chose to not have an epidural and struggled with the pain but was able to deliver her daughter vaginally without intervention. She had hoped to space her children farther apart but got pregnant and soon discovered she was having twins. She had another healthy pregnancy and this time opted for an epidural. She was worried that she would regret it but didn't at all. She had a difficult time getting in the groove of breastfeeding her twins but they are both still nursing beautifully today.
