Natural Birth Co. Podcast

Today, we're catching up with Gracie in our Journey of Pregnancy series (now at the 38-week mark), and we're diving deep into the physical changes that happen in the body before birth. From cervical developments to those magical baby movements, and that's not all…

Gracie opens up about something many expecting mothers might relate to: the sudden appearance of the "motherhood wound" as she gears up to transition into motherhood herself. 

Plus, we'll take you along for the ride as we navigate:

• CTG's and a slightly nerve-wracking hospital scare
• Surrendering to the uncertainty and unknown of spontaneous labour for first time mamas
• Sex in later pregnancy
• The difference between baby showers and mothers blessings

This podcast is for you if:

• You’re a first time mama and desire some inspiration, guidance, or relation to another pregnancy.
• You are preconception, wanting to have a baby at some stage in future, and have no idea what to actually do when that happens. 
• You are early in your pregnancy and desire some guidance on the right steps to make for your pregnancy journey with an interest towards natural birth.

Welcome to the Natural Birth Code Podcast! So excited to have you here, ready to dive into some real talk about birth experiences. Today, I am absolutely stoked to introduce you to Jacque. Trust me, you're gonna adore her. She's an NBC mama who's been through the whole shebang – yoga, birth workshops, you name it. And now, seven months post-birth, she's here to share her journey.

Get ready, because Jacque's story is a game-changer. We're talking about her experience with an epidural, and let me tell you, it's not your typical tale. See, we often have these preconceived notions about what's "good" or "bad" when it comes to birth preferences. But Jacque's here to flip that script. She embraced the unexpected, and her positive attitude toward her epidural is seriously inspiring.

You know, it's all about facing those fears head-on. We've all been there, sweating bullets over what might go wrong. But when you shine a light on those worries and give 'em a name, they lose their power. Jacque did just that, and her journey shows us that sometimes, the scariest thing on paper turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

So, get ready for some major inspiration – this is one podcast episode you won't wanna miss!

In this podcast we discuss:

• Conception with a sperm donor
• The importance of a support network
• Pregnancy preparation for birth
• How to have a positive birth experience where you are in control WITH an epidural
• Single parenting
• The importance of trusting in your intuition, and having confidence during your labour and birth experience

This podcast is for:

• The woman who can’t handle the thought of their birth going not to plan
• The woman wildly scared of getting the epidural
• The single mamas
• Mama who has difficulty in trusting and listening to their intuition- where does it even come from?
• Mamas who feel that because they haven’t birthed before they have no idea what to expect
• The Mamas who love a good birth story

In this episode, Gracie keeps it real about the "I'm still pregnant" vibe she's feeling. But don't let that fool you—there's plenty to chat about! We dive into Gracie's recent bout with what seemed like non-stop contractions. We'll laugh, we'll commiserate, and we'll share some tips on how to tell if it's the real deal or just Braxton Hicks.

Plus, we get into the nitty-gritty of losing the mucus plug. Yep, we're going there! Gracie shares her experience and we talk about what to do if it happens to you.

• You’re a first time mama and desire some inspiration, guidance, or relation to another pregnancy.
• You are preconception, wanting to have a baby at some stage in future, and have no idea what to actually do when that happens.

Who is this podcast for?

• Pregnant and preconception woman wanting to build trust and understanding about their bodies and the process of birth.
• Women who like hearing the logic and steps to how to birth naturally (hello my type A mamas)
• Pregnant woman willing to do what it takes for an easeful and progressive birth
• Pregnant woman who desire a minimal intervention, natural birth experience

This is part one of an amazing duo birth story with one of my dearest girlfriends Lucy Morris. She has had 2 amazing natural vaginal births, both in the hospital setting, Arthur now 2.5 years and Francis who is 10 weeks old (and with a during the poddy!).

Over the two-part’s we discuss:

• Her 2 natural vaginal births being so different

It can be really difficult to know what to prioritise for you and your babe throughout pregnancy, especially if this is your first pregnancy, or you are a busy mama-to-be. After working with 100s of mamas, Amy can tell you that this lack of clarity often leads to experiencing loneliness, feeling fearful about your birth experience, or becoming isolated or overly busy-ing themselves. So, today’s podcast is going to simplify it all and give you the top 3 things to prioritise during your pregnancy.

Kodies Birth Story Discussed in this podcast is #43. 

I really hope you enjoy the podcast!
