S3 EP86: Jordan McGregor - Bare and Boho - Hospital birth + Homebirth/shoulder dystocia

Today’s episode features Jordan, the owner and founder of one of Australia’s leading cloth nappies and reusables companies, Bare and Boho. Birth was never something Jordan feared growing up so when she found out she had conceived her first child, she naturally surrendered confidently into pregnancy and was excited to give birth. A relocation to North Queensland towards the end of her pregnancy resulted in an induction due to pressure from doctors over lack of scans to refer to. When she consciously concieved her second child she knew the only place she would birth was at home. Her waters released at 42 weeks and not only was Jordan feeling all the sensations of natural physiological labour for the first-time, but she simultaneously signed one of her biggest collaboration contracts with Aldi. The longevity she needed for this birth took her by surprise; a suspected shoulder dystocia was handled gently as her midwife assisted her to bring her delicious 4.3kg boy earthside. Jordan also shares with us the knowledge she has gained around tongue ties and how her company organically grew from humble beginnings.
