In this episode, Editorial Director of Image.ie Dominique McMullan joins Sinead to talk openly about the birth of her first baby Kai.

Her beloved bump was about to be born but her baby’s position led to complications, pain, an instrumental birth, alarms going off and rooms flooded with people.

It was traumatic.  *Trigger Warning*

It impacted her wellbeing. 

It impacted her mental health. 

It is a lived experience. 

But Dominique like many, suppressed and tried to behave as though she was a new mum who had it all under control.

Until a pandemic, covid, a miscarriage and the chance to see her sister for the first time in a long time and it all came to the surface.

Now due her second baby in only a few weeks, Dominique explains how this experience of trauma affected her, how she found help and how she is healing herself and her courage in preparation for the arrival of baby no2 later this summer.
