409 | Steph one baby, miscarriage, private obstetrician, PROM, induction, epidural, emergency caesarean, breastfeeding challenges

from Australian Birth Stories · host Sophie Walker

In today’s episode Steph takes us through her early pregnancy journey and explains her choice to have a private obstetrician. She prepared for labour and birth and the possibility of an emergency caesarean with The Birth Class and after her waters broke at 35 weeks, she was induced and opted for an epidural. Her baby’s heart rate was a concern and Steph’s obstetrician recommended an emergency caesarean which she agreed to. Her experience was incredibly positive and she wanted to share in the hope that she could inform and comfort other mothers in the same situation. She also details her breastfeeding challenges and her choice to formula feed for her own health and happiness.  _____________________ Check out  - our empowering, evidence based online birth education program that will help you confidently prepare for a positive birth experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
