EPISODE 40 Tamara - waterbirth / calmbirth

from Birthing Goddess Hosted by Fatima Wheeler

In this episode I speak to inspiring mama Tamara who shares her positive birth story. Tam was told that she might have trouble falling pregnant because she has endometriosis . She was recommended a naturopath who helped her manage her diet and prepare her body to fall pregnant. Tamara prepared a lot for her birth - especially mentally. One of her favourite books that helped her was ‘Birthing from Within.’ She says the power of the mind is incredible! She had dreamt of having a drug free waterbirth during her pregnancy & did the work to prepare her for this. Tam read a passage from the book Birthing from Within that really stuck with her which is ‘labour is hard work.’ As someone who loves a challenge she was up for it ! Tam was fortunate enough to have a solid supportive birth team and felt like she got to express herself and have the birth she always wanted. Tam gives a lot of amazing tips for women who are about to give birth & also tips for postpartum !! You will love Tam’s openness and also humour! Such a fun interview. You definitely need to listen to this inspiring mama !
