In this episode, I am chatting all things Induction with Dr. Murphy who has very bravely agreed to come on and share with us what the Arrive Trial was about and how it has dramatically changed practice within maternity services across the world - and definitely not for the better (in my opinion). 

Choosing to accept or decline an induction is a very personal decision - but it's hard to make a well-informed decision when you are not exposed to ALL the facts about why an induction might be offered to you, and what risks are involved in choosing the procedure. I hope you enjoy this discussion.

In this episode, I am chatting with the incredible Anna Verwaal who shares her thoughts and feelings about the lasting imprints that live within us from our own time in the womb and the birth experiences we have. 

Anna talks about conscious conception and how we can help support our children to come into being with the most optimal conditions possible because we can work on and ideally eliminate many of the fears that live within us, and so much more...

There is an abundance of wisdom in this episode, and I am constantly blown away by the knowledge I gain when I hear Anna speak. You might want to take notes about your own thoughts and feelings that arise when you hear this conversation.

Enjoy x

Poppy Child from @popthatmumma shares her experience of giving birth in the NHS maternity system. Poppy's birth is inspirational - however, there were a few twists and turns. This is a really great story that will help you to identify some key reasons why you should always follow your body during physiological birth because Poppy almost lost out on her dream birth at the final hurdle.

In today's episode, I am chatting about all things birth with the lovely Daisy Dinwoodie, a fellow doula, and pregnancy yoga teacher. We chat about our role as doulas and offer birth stories and experiences about anything from c-section to free birth.  We laugh about the idea that many care providers think they offer shared decision making and we offer words of advice to pregnant women and their partners about how to take ownership of their birth experiences.

Hayley and Katja Schoenberg bravely share their story of conceiving using donor sperm, going through a pregnancy during covid times, and having an unwanted induction of labour for a predicted big baby, which lead to a traumatic birth experience for them both.  

This isn't an easy story to hear, but it's essential for both you and your partner to understand so you can try to avoid going through many of the devastating procedures and interventions that caused this trauma.

In this week's episode, I had the privilege of chatting with Rosemary Umolu.  Rosemary is a Midwife & Herbalist helping women get rid of period pains. Her love of nature & reproductive health inspired her to become a midwife, combining herbal knowledge and traditional skills to help women birth safely.

We spoke of her journey to becoming a herbalist, the importance of self-care, her role as a midwife, and how to take ownership when it comes to your life and your birth.

This is a truly wonderful episode which I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

I am back with Season 3 of the podcast, and in this episode I am flying solo. 
I wanted to record this episode alone and share with you all my personal stance on the difference between the three ways you can give birth. I believe it is essential for every pregnant woman or person to fully understand their options when planning for birth so that when you know the 3 different types of birth, you can prevent yourself from accidentally accepting interventions or procedures without realising the consequences of those decisions. 
Stepping into your power and taking ownership of your birth is what can make it a positive experience. 

I hope you enjoy this episode. If so, please leave a 5 *rating and review and share it with your friends and on social media.  You can tag me @thultimatebirthpartner
