As I prepare for my own upcoming birth, I’ve been reflecting on what I learned from my last birth - what I want to do the same, and what I’ll do differently this time around. In this episode I talk about the small but important things that I will do differently this time (like getting that birth pool filled early and starting the TENS machine from the first twinges of labour!) and why I’ve chosen a slightly different support team this time, and who will be present at out birth. 

I also shared a little behind the scenes from the Home Birth Australia Conference in Adelaide, including some big insights from childbirth educator Rhea Dempsey on working with pain during labour rather than fighting against it.
