Jo’s story, bringing baby Teddy into the world in the peak of a pandemic.

Jo’s story, bringing baby Teddy into the world in the peak of a pandemic. Women giving birth during this pandemic are HEROs! Jo is one of them. She is a dear friend of mine and it was such a pleasure talking to her about bringing Teddy into the world. Teddy’s in Jo’s second son. Henry was born over 5 years before and as Jo explains it wasn’t a good experience for her. So much so she had feared giving birth again from then on. Like myself, she started hypnobirthing to prepare herself. Not realizing just how much it would come into play for her in the end. Sally from @thefeelgoodbirthco has seen us both through our most recent births and my god what a difference it made for both us! Thank you so much, Sally.  Her services are perfect for pandemic birthing. I did all of my learning with Sally online and on FaceTime. This is such a feel-good story, the happy birth story we all need to hear right now. The perfect antidote to all the pandemic birth fear. Jo got the birth she wanted despite all the restrictions, she had a calm experience and the first thing she said when I asked how it went was “it was amazing”. That gave me hope that if she can have an amazing birth during a pandemic, following previously difficult experiences, there his hope for everyone. In this episode we talked all things lockdown home birth, how she overcame fear, dealt with birthing restrictions, and all the ways she made good of a difficult time and lots in between. For the rest of the story, ill let you listen,  it really is a great one. Jo, I’m so proud to know you, I hope you are proud of yourself too. Thank you for taking the time to chat with me mid pandemic and thanks for the hope and positivity you are spreading to all the other preggo mama’s out there. Happy listening.
