Episode 90 - Emma's Story - C-Section and VBAC

After an incredible birth with her first baby, Georgie knew she wanted to help others discover more about themselves in order to have a similar experience.

She decided that Positive Psychology was the exact coaching method that would support her, to make a difference to women who want to achieve the birth of their dreams.

This exceptional tool focuses on the positive traits you already have, and is an incredibly encouraging way to highlight what areas you can work on, in order to reframe any doubts you may have about your ability to give birth easily.

In this episode, I am chatting to Laila,  a first-time mum who struggled to accept her unplanned pregnancy. She candidly shares with us how difficult it was to come to terms with a positive pregnancy test, and how she handled sharing the news with her close family and friends.

Despite suffering from antenatal depression, Laila went on to make it the best experience of her life so far. After the birth of her daughter she was able to truly see the gift she had been given, and her mission now is to help other women having a baby for the first time.

Laila set up 'The Learning to Mom Podcast' which she explains has a wide variety of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experts. Her episodes support pregnant women having their first baby to learn more about their options so that they can have a positive experience throughout.

In the second of my replay episodes I have chosen this incredibly informative conversation I had from Season 2 with Dr Rachel Reed. 

We talk about everything birth and cover topics that relate to pregnancy, birth partners, midwives, student midwives, and doulas. 

I find it really helps to re-listen to the information that is shared with experienced birth professionals to help consolidate your knowledge and develop your own philosophies of birth. 

Enjoy

In this weeks episode I am sharing an old episode I made in season 1 with Amanda Burleigh, who has  helped to change maternity services by campaigning for not just delayed cord clamping, but optimal. 

This is where ALL the baby's blood transfers into their body, and they receive their full blood compliment. 

I have to say that this is a particular favourite of mine, because Amanda's story is so important to the future health of our children, and her inspirational journey has been life changing for so many.

In this episode, I am chatting to Tara - who is the inventor of the Christian Hypnobirthing App. 

When looking for tools to prepare herself for birth, Tara was introduced to Hypnobirthing. She soon realised there was nothing that supported her faith, and so decided that she wanted to fill that gap. 

The Christian hypnobirthing app has now reached over 100,000 people worldwide and has expanded to include antenatal faith-filled education. 

This conversation is so interesting as we listen to Tara share how she became an entrepreneur and developed her app - as she knew this resource was so needed.

In this weeks episode, I am delighted to welcome Helen's husband Mike, who talks candidly about his experience of being a birth partner. 

He explains in detail the stark difference between their first birth and their second one. In addition, he shares what he did to improve his knowledge when preparing for their home birth, to ensure he was a confident birth partner who had the ability to support Helen during her physiological birth. 

This episode is packed with wisdom and knowledge that comes from a man who took his role incredibly seriously. Mike was desperate to make sure that the birth was exactly as Helen dreamed of, and the work he did paid off enormously.

In this week's episode, I am chatting again with Helen Totton who shares her experience of giving birth to her second child at home after a traumatic first birth. Helen describes the journey she went on to heal herself and prepare for birth in an optimal way.

This is such an inspirational story of how Helen worked so hard to ensure her second birth was completely different to her first, despite moments of doubt and uncertainty.

In this week's episode, I am chatting with Helen Totton who shares her experience of giving birth to her first child 8 years ago. Helen had an induction which left her struggling with postnatal depression.

This is an inspirational story of how Helen worked hard to prepare for her second birth to ensure she was not going to have the same experience again.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I am chatting with fellow doula Cara who is a true inspiration to so many in the birth world. Her knowledge and passion shines through in the support she offers.  

Her story is so interesting as she candidly shares with us her journey as a young single mum and how she found the strength to recover from an eating disorder. 

Cara also shares so beautifully her own experience of how she let go of old wounds and history that was holding her back. 

In this sovereign birth season, I feel strongly that as pregnant women, you need to investigate what you have within you as a person to ensure that you have nothing left to sabotage your birth.  This episode will hopefully help you to identify, and then eliminate deeply hidden issues that can arise in birth, and impair your experience.

What do you have to shift within you?  I hope you can look deep within and see if there is something you can let go of as you prepare for birth and parenting.

To start the year, I have recorded another episode on Breathing and Relaxation Skills as these episodes are the most sought after. 

I know that you need to hear as much information as possible on this topic, so I have thought about some additional tips to share with you. 

I hope you enjoy them .
