EP135 - Emma, One Pregnancy & Birth, Gestational Diabetes, Induction, Vaginal Birth, CMPA, Postnatal Depression, Postnatal Anxiety Ireland's Birth Stories

In this next episode I share my chat with Emma who talks me through her one pregnancy and the birth of her son. I vividly remember received Emmas email last year, she told me she suffered with PNA & PND but was ok the road to recovery. Although Emma was in a good place at the time she wasn’t aware of how tough the following months would be.
Emma was diagnosed with gestational diabetes but managed this with both diet and exercise. She then talks me through her induction and the birth of her son. She admits she didn’t feel the rush of love that is spoken about so much but in reality not always felt.
I truly appreciate how far Emma brought us into the depts of her depression. I think this honesty is so powerful as I know she isn’t alone in her experience. I do want to highlight she shares feeling suicidal thoughts at the height of her depression.
As Emma said ‘if anyone is listening, you are worth trying to get better for, always!’
