An undiagnosed breech baby, that resulted in an immediate transfer (from a planned homebirth) to the hospital due to a footling breech presentation.

In this weeks episode we sit down with mum of three, speech pathologist and Hypnobirthing practitioner, Tina Pullen. 

Through Tina's three pregnancies she went through a different model of care for each pregnancy - the public sector, a private obstetrician and recently, a private midwife for a homebirth. In this episode we discuss how being a hypnobirthing practitioner fed into Tina's labour and birth with her beautiful homebirth. 

We go through what a homebirth entails, the practicalities of it, how each stage of the labour felt for Tina and the different approach that a homebirth midwife vs an obstetrician might have.
