A Mother's Day Special: Pregnancy & Birth Preparedness

What does it really take to prepare for birth in Nairobi? In this episode, Dr. Claire Kinuthia sits down with Tebby Maritim — content creator, mum of two, and one of the voices behind the viral hospital delivery cost trend that got Kenya talking. Tebby opens up about her two very different birth experiences, the pregnancy challenges she navigated with her most recent baby, and how she arrived at her personal birth plan. She shares what the experience of delivering actually felt like from the inside — the parts she hopes every mum gets to experience, and the things she'd do differently. And she breaks down what she brought to hospital, what she wished she'd known, and what soon-to-be mums in Kenya need to hear before they step into that delivery room. This is one of those conversations that feels like a deep exhale — honest, warm, and full of the kind of practical wisdom you'll only hear from a woman who has truly lived it. If you are pregnant, hoping to be, or simply curious about the birth journey in Kenya, this one is for you. — In this episode: •⁠ ⁠Tebby's two birth experiences and what each taught her •⁠ ⁠Pregnancy challenges she faced and how she got through them •⁠ ⁠Understanding the birth plan: the medical side vs your personal preferences •⁠ ⁠The hospital delivery cost trend — why she joined and what she wants mums to know •⁠ ⁠Her birthing experience: the beautiful, the raw, and the real •⁠ ⁠Practical tips on how to prepare your body, mind, and hospital bag for deliveryConnect with Tebby on Socials: @tebbymaritimCTRH Podcast Location Partner:@ashleyfurniturekenya@fairdealfurnitureProduction by @artlight_studioHow can you support this podcast?Subscribe & Rate this episode, Share & leave a comment. #pregnancyjourney #BirthPreparedness#NairobiBirth #BirthPlan #PregnancyKenya #Nairobimums #MaternalHealth #mothersdsyspecial #CTRHPodcast
