066 - Alice | homebirth, hypnobirthing, waterbirth, physiological birth, continuity of care, meconium

In today's episode we're hearing from Alice. She always knew she wanted a homebirth so when she found out she was pregnant it felt like the obvious choice. She shares how she prepared in the lead up to birth; what she read, how she loved science behind hypnobirthing and how supportive she found affirmations for her mindset. Alice's patience was tested with a few days of latent labour, but after chatting to some helpful midwives she was able to relax into it and once things got going her son ended up being born pretty quickly. This is such a lovely story of first time homebirth and the benefits of being supported by a midwife you know and trust. A short and sweet episode for what ended up being relatively short labour in the end!   The Birth Prep Bundle (guided meditations for pregnancy):  https://sincere-union-68693.myflodesk.com/zkj6c4q686  Alice's IG: https://www.instagram.com/alice_inwineland/  Helena's episode:  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/046-helena-physiological-birth-mlu-gbs-positive-gas/id1703057905?i=1000664690760  My website: www.serenalouth.com My IG: https://www.instagram.com/serenalouth/
