S3 EP84: Emma Usher - Traumatic hospital birth + Healing home birth

Today we hear the two contrasting births of Gold Coast mother, Emma. Reaching 42 weeks during her first pregnancy not only brought intense stress to Emma but the pressure on her was building to be induced. The excitement that filled her when she went into spontaneous labour was short-lived after a ride to the hospital halted her labour in its tracks, putting her “on the clock” to get things progressing. The trauma she carried from that experience left her questioning whether she could endure birth again. A change in lifestyle and exposure to positive homebirth stories, re-instilled Emma’s faith in the power of birth, leading her to manifest a transformative and healing experience second time around.
