Today we bring you the story of Georgia's two births. Georgia is another of our beautiful co-hosts, and in this episode, she shares so openly and generously about her experience birthing her two daughters, including how she went from planning a elective repeat caesarean with her second to a planned homebirth after caesarean with the support of a private midwife.
Georgia obviously spent some time reflecting on her journeys and provides such a wonderful insight into what really made the difference for her, not only in labour and birth, but postpartum as well. This is particularly relevant in her case, as she vulnerably details the challenges she experienced in breastfeeding both her eldest, Luna, and her second daughter Remi, even after a long but powerful and blissful second birth at home.
We hope you enjoy listening to this story, and if you want to hear both Bronwyn (EP2) and Georgia speaking more about their experiences of postpartum, breastfeeding and mothering, you can check out Bronwyn's podcast "The Motherwhelm" (@the.motherwhelm on instagram) where the two of them speak together in Episode 3.
