In this episode I chat to Megan who talks me through her three pregnancies & two births. Unfortunately Megan had a miscarriage early on with her first pregnancy. She conceived quickly with her little girl Aylla and she goes into all the details surrounding her pregnancy and birth. She speaks of her experience with PND which I know will resonate with many of you. I asked Megan to share her story on the podcast due to how honest and forthcoming she has been in sharing such a private time of her life. It's imperative to our health and the health of our families that we speak up and ask for help if we don't feel ourselves. Megan then talks me through her third pregnancy and the birth of her son CJ. She discusses her anxieties at the prospect of giving birth during the pandemic and the possibility of being alone throughout labour. During her pregnancy she attended the Coombe for an appointment with a mental health specialist and together they created a plan which would ensure Megan did not suffer as she did after her first birth.Thankfully, her postnatal experience has been very different second time round. Along with Megan's episode, I will link supports on the website which might be of use to you should you need help. Once again, please do not suffer in silence. You will never regret getting help and it's never too late to avail of it.Enjoy!
