040 - Lottie | labour ward, positive induction, epidural, fetal scalp electrode, ventouse, DMER, combi feeding

In today's episode we're hearing from Lottie about the birth of her little boy. She was lucky enough to feel physically well during her pregnancy, but emotionally found it quite overwhelming. Her and her husband took an antenatal course in preparation for the birth which they found really useful for learning about all their options, so when she was offered an induction at 41 weeks Lottie felt confident and well informed in accepting. Her induction was on the whole a very positive experience and her son with born with ventouse assistance. Lottie goes on to share a little about her breastfeeding journey as she suffered with dysmorphic milk ejection reflex which really affected her experience as she felt there were limited resources and sources of support available to her.   Lottie's IG: https://www.instagram.com/slow_fashion_lottie/   Mama to Mama Charity: https://www.mama-to-mama.co.uk/   My website: www.serenalouth.com My IG: https://www.instagram.com/serenalouth/
