The Birth Chapter

In this episode we chat with Brittney, farmers wife, mum of 3, garden lover, crafter and DIYer (she has a lot of hobbies!) about her three birth stories as well as her journey to falling pregnant and her experience of two miscarriages. Brittney suffered from hyperemesis particulary badly in her first full term pregnancy, as well as SPD which got worse each time - making running around after toddlers, while pregnant, quite the challenge! She really highlighted the importance of resting during labour and the impact this has on your birth experience and early postpartum. We really enjoyed chatting to Brittney, she is a big home birth fan as are we! We hope you enjoy her uplifting stories as much as we did.

Today we are joined by the epic Grace Coombs from FOUR Physio here in Christchurch for the second episode in our postpartume series to chat about some of the pelvoc floor issues we can face postpartum. Grace is a Womens Health Physio and sees many pre and postnatal mums during their journey. She is full of knowledge and so easy to listen to. We hope you gain something from this episode!

In this episode we chat with Kate a NICU nurse and Lactation consultant from Little Bird Lactation, about her three very different birth stories. Kate unfortunately suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (severe vomiting/nausea) during all of her pregnancies so having a third baby was a big decision! Despite her pregnancies she had three positive births, one an accidental home birth and then a planned home birth turned induction. We had some technical difficulties with recording this episode so it does end suddenly sadly but we hope you enjoy listening to Kate's journey to complete her family.

In this episode we chatted with Janelle about her home birth with her first baby. Janelle decided on a wild pregnancy (very little care provider involvement) journey and almost free birth, she didn't want any interventions but did want a midwife there for support. Janelle fully trusted her body and gave birth quite quickly after her waters broke at the movies! Janelle was so lovely to talk to and we thoroughly enjoyed her story and perspective, we hope you love listening too.
