EP78 - Dairíona - One Pregnancy & Birth, Induction, Cesarean Birth, Birth During Restrictions (Sensitive Content)
In this next episode I share my conversation with Dairíona who talks me through her experience of pregnancy and labouring alone thoughout COVID restrictions. Listening to Dairíonas story in many parts is difficult and for this reason I would consider her episode to be of a sensitive nature.
She talks me through conception, her various hospital visits due to concerns of baby’s movement, a bleed and also erratic blood pressure. Her experience was very mixed with some medical staff being nothing but supportive but she also encountered others whom she thought could have shown her more compassion.
She was induced and later, her little girl arrived into the world via Cesarean birth due to the presence of meconium in her waters. They shared some time together soaking in their little girl before her partner was asked to leave. Being alone once again with limited support took so much away from what should have been a very special time.
Below I have included a number of supports for those who need it
