In this week's episode, we catch up with Carmen, who shares the VBAC birth story of her 3rd baby after having 2 previous c- sections. 

Her birth story is so inspirational and she describes how her mindset and certainty in her ability to give birth to her baby really worked in helping her to achieve her dream birth, despite circumstances unfolding in a way that was not expected.

This week's episode of Motherness is proudly sponsored by Edwards & Co. Edwards & Co is a Kiwi owned and operated family business. They've recently expanded their nursery range with the launch of the SnuzKot Skandi Collection, alongside the already popular SnuzPod Bedside Bassinet. 

Today’s guest is Tehani Buchanan, a beautiful māmā who was the catalyst for sparking my awareness of decolonising mamahood. 

To say Tehani’s journey is varied would be quite the understatement but ‘journey’ really is the perfect word – her entry into motherhood began with a traumatic c-section birth at 33 weeks which left her with a mental injury that she says was raw, her daughter had a long NICU stay, and she exclusively pumped for a while as well. Then, with her second, a home birth after cesarean, exclusive breastfeeding to extended breastfeeding, wet nursing, feeding to sleep, immersing her tamariki in Te Reo Māori, and becoming a single mama. 

Thank you, Tehani for trusting me with the gift of sharing your experience, there is so much power in these words…
