Pregnancy, Birth and Recovery: Kath Baquie from FitNest Mama

Send us Fan Mail

It’s my pleasure to share this beautiful positive birth story with you again today. 

This is a re-run from episode 18, where I chat with Claire who had a 5 week old bubba. Claire opens up about being a single mamma by choice and the arduous yet amazing story of how she finally became pregnant after numerous years of trying.  

Claire and I discuss maternal assisted cesarean deliveries, being a single mum, recovering from a c-section and her experience leaking amniotic fluid all over her nursery, the car and hospital entrance! 

Claire’s beautiful experience throughout pregnancy, childbirth and life with a newborn baby will encourage any listeners out there looking for some positivity at the moment.

In this birth story I chat with Jenna Cawthray who is a mother to a 12 week old son, Robbie.

Jenna describes her 42 hour labour which ended in an emergency caesarean.  And despite the fact that her birth didn't go according to plan, and did in fact take quite some time to process for her, Jenna has now come out the other side and is loving motherhood.

Jenna also gives some great tips that helped with her postpartum stage and 4th trimester.

Today I chat with Rox Solway who is currently a stay at home mum of two toddlers.

As a stay at home mum of two young children, Rox found conscious and connected parenting was at the forefront of her mind each and every day. 

Rox describes how she had to spend a long time healing her own childhood wounds and understanding her own childhood trauma in order to break generational cycles. In doing so her home has gone from chaos and reactive to now calm and connected. 

Rox's goal is to give her children the parent that she needed when she was growing up and break generational cycles. She has discovered that connection is the key to a healthy long term relationship with her children and the way to connection is being conscious in how she shows up as a parent each and every day.

In this episode we discuss:

1. What does being a conscious parent mean?

2. What are examples of conscious parenting?

3. How do you practise conscious parenting?

4. What is the goal of conscious parenting?

5. What are the benefits of conscious parenting?

6. How did you get your partner on board?

7. Connection before Correction parenting
