In today's episode I chat with Courts who openly shares her struggles trying to conceive her first child. She discusses the challenges she faced with Western Medicine Practitioners, which lead her to seek alternate options. She started seeing a Chinese Medicine Practitioner and after following a tailored protocol became pregnant naturally. 

Courts had a relatively cruisy pregnancy in terms of symptoms, but struggled with sciatic pain, which she was able to get on top of through physio and acupuncture. She was initially planning to take advantage of her private health and birth in a private hospital, but ultimately decided that her needs weren't being met, so opted for a home birth with a private midwife. 

This story has so many ups and downs and Courts reminds us of the importance of sticking to your guns when it comes to what you want in your pregnancy and birth. Parts of the story had me in stitches, so I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode as much as I did!
