In this next episode I chat to Niamh who at the time is 26 weeks pregnant with her second baby. We chat about how she is feeling in the lead up to this baby's arrival before she shares the details of her first experience bringing her little girl Evie into the world.Niamh was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and talks me through the lifestyle changes she had to make, from adjustments to her diet to testing her sugars multiple times a day. We then delve into her labour where she opted for an epidural. Unfortunately, her epidural wasn't smooth sailing and days later she underwent an epidural blood patch. Niamh shares exactly what that procedure involves and how she felt returning home to her baby for the first time, painfree.We then chat away about our own experiences with postnatal anxiety, how crippling it can be, how you feel all eyes are watching you and how counseling was life changing for us both.Enjoy!---------------------------------------------------------------This episode is brought to you by @mamashospitalbag an Irish brand providing luxury hospital bag bundles aswell as gift boxes to new and expectant mother's.
