  • S4 EP8: The risks of synthetic oxytocin inductions

    Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... podcast, season 4 episode 8. Today I'm finishing off a mini series I started last season - busting the myth that inductions are risk free or "not very risky". I wanted to break this down into different methods so this episode focuses on synthetic oxytocin inductions AKA "the drip" and the risks associated.

  • S4 EP6: Is your birth prep causing you MORE fear?

    Welcome to The Doula's Guide To Preparing For Your Birth Podcast, season 4 episode 6! In this episode I'm talking to you about the ways that our birth prep can actually sometimes cause MORE fear rather than less, mainly on social media, and how over preparing isn't necessarily helping. This is your permission slip to have a break and enjoy your pregnancy a little bit more. I also chat a little about how this effected me in my recent pregnancy.
