    EP 22: Mindy's birth story: fertility journey, ovulation induction, HG, natural vaginal birth

    Hello and welcome back! Today's episode features Mindy, a mum of one from Sydney who did the Hypnobirthing Australia course with me last year. She gets raw and honest about her fertility journey, Hyperemesis Gravidarum (severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy) and her birth story. She also shares how Hypnobirthing unexpectedly helped her through her HG and when she required surgery following birth.  

    If you love Mindy's story or any other story on the pod, make sure to leave us a review! This helps more mum get access to the birth stories we share!

    EP 21: First trimester tings- My experience so far!

    Hey gals! I am back with another episode sharing my experience in pregnancy so far! I was meant to document my pre-conception preparation journey but after finding out I was pregnant, I will now be sharing everything I am doing including the model of care I've chosen, professionals I'll be seeing and how I have been feeling (physically and emotionally) in this first trimester!

    This was recorded a couple of weeks ago in my 8th week of pregnancy. I cannot wait to share with you the changes I will experience as I head into the second trimester.

    Connect with my on Instagram here where I will be answering more FAQs about my pregnancy and birth.

    I have a few classes left before I go on leave early 2023 so to find dates that suit you, head to my website

    Thank you for listening and I will be bringing you a cracker of a birth story next week. 

    Love,

    EP 20: Ebony's birth story- MGP, public hospital, posterior birth, CMPI, tongue tie

    Welcome back my loves! Today I am joined by Ebony who is a teacher and mama from Sydney. Ebony will be sharing her birth story with us today to hopefully help spread the message that not ALL posterior births end in intervention- sometimes it is the best position for baby. She talks all about the techniques and tips that got her through as well as sharing her experience with a newborn with tongue tie and CMPI (cow milk protein intolerance).

    You can find out more about Ebony here as she shares her journey with CMPI.

    EP 18: Dani's birth story- planned home birth, hospital transfer, c-section

    EP 18: Dani's birth story- planned home birth, hospital transfer, c-section

    Hey gals, I have another awesome birth story for you!

    Dani Reed is a naturopath and mum to her little girl Luca. She has a passion for women's health education, especially in the pre and post-partum period.

    Dani tells us all about her pre-conception preparation, what she did in her pregnancy to prepare her mind and body for birth and choosing the right model of care for her. She talks about her marathon 3 day labour and what happened when she made the decision to transfer to hospital.

    We went over time chatting about her birth so we didn't have as much time to chat about her c-section recovery. I would love to cover more of this on Instagram so if you have any questions, send me a DM on Instagram and we can include more information for you!

    You can also connect with Dani on Instagram here
