Hey hey,  Thanks for tuning into today’s conversation. Today I chat with Lenny In this conversation we chat about  ✔️learning about her cycles prior to conception via natural family planning and falling pregnant quickly after trying ✔️having clinical knowledge as a midwife going into her pregnancy and being able to contrast her clinical knowledge with what she was experiencing  ✔️doing hypnobirthing to help partner be prepared and gaining a deeper understanding that she didn’t have before ✔️wanting to experience a homebirth for the their last child but being met with a reluctant GP and a partner who needed convincing  ✔️finding a private midwife and going down the homebirth pathway with confidence in her ability to birth undisturbed  ✔️as a health professional herself, highlighting the need for other professionals to give autonomy to women to make decisions for themselves and their baby and not rely on someone telling them what to do  To be sure to be notified when a new episode comes out please subscribe to the show on your listening platform.
