043 - Leonora | 4 early losses, reflexology, progesterone, incompetent cervix, cervical cerclage, bed rest, c-section

In this week's episode we're hearing from Leonora just 8 weeks after the birth of her daughter. She shares about her conception journey including the difficulty of her 4 early losses and the anxiety that came with her subsequent pregnancy; midway through which Leonora was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix. She underwent a cervical cerclage to prevent her going into preterm labour and was put on bed rest, and then house rest, which she understandably found very isolating. Leonora chose to birth her baby via c-section which she describes as the best experience of her life! She shares a little about recovering from the surgery, the early days of motherhood and  how she is finding breastfeeding so far with the help of nipple shields.   Leonora's IG: https://www.instagram.com/leo.downes/  My website: www.serenalouth.com My IG: https://www.instagram.com/serenalouth/
