In this episode I chat to Mairead who talks me through her two pregnancies & births. She planned for a homebirth with her first boy but was transferred as her waters had broken past the 24 hour time frame. She opted for an epidural which she mentions was the best decision at the time. It allowed her body to rest and recharge for her boys birth.

We then speak about her second pregnancy, again she opted for a homebirth. I love how Mairead speaks of the day she went into labour and she mentions her "labour project" which is a fantastic idea. Her little boy arrived quickly into the world leaving everyone in shock but Mairead, she felt powerful and elated. This was the birth he wanted!We also chat about motherhood, especially first time round. Filling that role of mother can be daunting, especially when each experience is a first.Enjoy!*This episode is brought to you by @babysensorykildarecarlow voted Best Baby Class in Ireland in the Mums & Tots Awards
