Remembering Birth

In this episode Temeaka remembers her three very different births.  In her first birth she did no preparation and went in "trusting" the hospital and midwives would take care of her. She was induced at 40 + 2 and her birth ended in an "emergency cesarean". After her cesarean her friend told her what a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) was and she became determined she would have one. It was difficult to find a care provider to support her choices and even when she did they still tried to induce her as she neared 42 weeks. She trusted her baby and body and she did get her VBAC in hospital. It wasn't quite what she wanted but she learnt more lessons and decided she would never birth in hospital again. She took 4 years to heal, process and prepare for a conscious conception and had a beautiful painless freebirth.

She had a natural birth in a hospital which wasn't ideal and left her feeling disempowered.  In her postpartum she went on a journey of healing and reconnecting with her womb and her body.

Dee Remembers her two very different birth stories in this weeks emotional episode. Her first son was born in Tasmania while her husband and her were on their babymoon. Dee was only 25 weeks pregnant and absolutely terrified. She managed to naturally push her tiny baby out and he was quickly taken to the NICU leaving his parents shocked. The next few weeks were touch and go for this family but little Arthur miraculously survived. 2 years later Dee went on to have a 2nd baby son born full term and a big, healthy 9lbs! Both her births are pretty incredible. Please leave a review if you enjoy this episode.
