Transform Your Birth

Alex shares with us the stories of both her boys

She shares how her preparation gave her confidence.

She experienced tearing with her first, and needed to work on her fear, and bring in strategies to avoid tearing again for baby number two.

She discusses the role of subconscious preparation and going into a trance state, and how that was a challenge for her second birth through extra monitoring.

Her story also highlights the importance of an intimate birthing environment and not focusing on time.

Lots of great learning. Enjoy!

Katie shares with us her story of two births.

During her first birth, she felt things were done to her and she really had no choice.

For her second birth she made some very different decisions.

She chose a different model of care, and she sourced education beyond the hospital classes that catered to both her and her partner.

This changed her second birth dramatically.

Katie did acupuncture and tapping later in her pregnancy, was induced and gave birth to a 4.1kg baby, whilst being small herself.

Katie also shares her experience of newborn care – using newborn osteopathy which helped both her boys with two very different conditions.

The Transform Your birth podcast will educate, entertain and support your ability to navigate pregnancy and prepare to give birth. We can't control birth, but Tracey helps us to see how we can influence it and how it helps us to become parents.

Transform Parenting Founder Tracey Anderson Askew explores birth through stories and the lens of what birth can teach us. She prepares families for birth and parenting and views birth as the catalyst for the transformation necessary to go from woman to mother, and man to father. These podcasts will share that wisdom and change the current birth narrative from what happens in birth to how birth changes us.
