If you’re preparing to give birth, you might have heard the term ‘episiotomy’ and be wondering what on earth people are talking about. This episode breaks down what an episiotomy is and what the evidence has to say about use of the procedure in childbirth. A must listen if you’re expecting - As always, knowledge is power!
This episode of Growing is made possible by one of my favourite resources for expectant parents, The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth written by Sophie Walker, the host of the incredible Australian Birth Stories Podcast. This beautiful book provides invaluable insight into the Australian maternity care system, what to expect at each stage of your pregnancy journey and various ways to prepare for your birth so you can feel empowered in your decision-making. I love the way Sophie has sprinkled insightful self-care strategies throughout the book such as mindfulness prompts, relaxation exercises and conversation starters. This book goes far beyond your usual pregnancy manual and perfectly encapsulates the wisdom of Australian birthing parents, partners and pregnancy professionals alike. You can grab a copy of the book from www.australiabirthstories.com
