Hey hey, Thanks for tuning into today’s conversation. Today I chat with Charlotte, mum to one little girl. In this conversation we chat about ✔️choosing to have a homebirth as a first time mum ✔️seeing a GP for a referral who labelled homebirth as “dangerous” and “something that should be illegal” ✔️suffering from pubic symphysis pain in her 2nd trimester and how she managed it ✔️long posterior labour and hospital transfer which felt like the right thing to do for Charlotte ✔️feeding from one breast only due to a breast reduction ✔️experiencing postpartum anxiety while trying to do everything “by the book” ✔️intrusive thoughts and how they manifested for Charlotte To be sure to be notified when a new episode comes out please subscribe to the show on your listening platform.
