The Diamonds in the Darkness: When Birth doesn't go to Plan

Sally speaks with Krishna Reville, mother of two boys, about her lessons learned from both of her births that were vastly different to the natural, uncomplicated births she had dreamed of. She also speaks about the importance of being aware of all types of births that can happen, to cope better if plans change suddenly. She also highlights the importance of ensuring the stories pregnant women hear are from people who have had the chance to process their experiences and articulate their lessons learned.References: "A Life's Work", Rachel CuskMore info on "matrescence": http://www.pbbmedia.org/matrescence.htmlSupport for birth trauma: www.panda.org.au, www.birthtalk.orgRelated blogpost: http://www.pbbmedia.org/ne-plus-ultra/surviving-nicu-by-krishna-revilleFirst aired on 99.9 BayFM on Monday 3 September 2018.Copyright 2018 PBB Media and Sally Cusackwww.pbbmedia.orgPresenter and producer: Sally Cusack+++++This episode is proudly sponsored by WELEDA Australia.FOR A LIMITED TIME Australian audiences are entitled to a 20% discount on any online orders over $29.95 when they quote the promotional code of NATURAL.
