10. Claire Kidd: Positive birth and postnatal stories | Struggling with breastfeeding | Mum guilt and becoming a mum of two
This week I’m chatting with Claire Kidd. Claire is a mum of two and she lives in Australia.
We talk about Claire’s preparation for birth which involved hiring a doula and doing a hypnobirthing course. Claire is of the view that the hypnobirthing prep paved the way for her to have the birth experience she had hoped for and went on to have a positive impact on her postnatal experience.
Claire’s doula sounds absolutely fantastic and she spent some time helping Claire and her husband to prepare for becoming parents by talking about what would change, what they would miss when they became parents and how their relationship with one another. It makes me so happy to hear that there are others doing this work with parents as I’m majorly passionate about helping women and their partners prepare for the emotional aspects of becoming parents as well as the practical so I loved listening to this part of Claire’s story.
We chatted about Claire’s positive experience first time round and she describes the time postnatally as joyful and blissful which is lovely to hear.
We also talk about Claire’s experience of going from being a mum of one to having her second daughter. Claire talks about the conflict that women go through when they are struggling to balance the needs of two children. It can be tough so we chat a bit about how Claire has adjusted to that.
This is a really lovely episode with lots to take away about the possibility of women having positive experiences during birth and postnatally – this is equally important to share and talk about as much as talking about some of the more difficult experiences women have.
I hope you enjoy the episode. If you do then please leave me a review and subscribe on iTunes as this helps to spread the word about the podcast. Also please share with any mums who may find the podcast useful.
I’ve also created a free wellbeing for mums download. It’s packed full of hints and tips to help you take better care of yourself and your emotional wellbeing. Grab it at maisienicholls.com/wellbeing.
