    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

    Whether you are planning on having a baby soon OR you just found out you're pregnant, this is one episode you need to listen to!
