Vroedmeester Sydney Grové: Wat Jy oor Geboorte Moet Weet!/ Midwife Sydney Grové: What You Need to Know About Birth!

Sydney Grové was Suid-Afrika se heel eerste vroedmeester – ja, ’n manlike vroedvrou! Hy het ook die land se eerste watergeboortes behartig en was betrokke by meer as 25 000 geboortes. In dié besondere episode deel Sydney sy dekades se kennis met Daniëlla en ons luisteraars. Hy vertel hoe hy as kind reeds geweet het dis sy roeping om by geboorteversorging betrokke te wees – en hoe hy deur die jare gesien het hoe geboortepraktyke, emosionele ondersteuning en die rol van vroedvroue verander het. Maar Sydney is ook bekommerd oor waar Suid-Afrika nou staan. Hy glo dat ons besig is om die hart van geboorte te verloor: dat ma's nie altyd die sorg, ondersteuning en menslikheid ontvang wat hulle verdien nie. Sydney se webblad: www.grovemediconsulting.com Sydney Grové was South Africa’s very first male midwife – yes, a man in midwifery! He also assisted with the country’s first water births and has been involved in more than 25000 deliveries. In this special episode, Sydney shares his decades of experience with Daniëlla and our listeners. He talks about how he knew from a young age that this was his calling, and how he’s seen childbirth practices, emotional support, and the role of midwives evolve over the years. But Sydney is also concerned about where South Africa stands today. He believes we’re losing the heart of childbirth – that mothers aren’t always receiving the care, compassion, and support they truly deserve. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
