Ep 4. Birth Environment & Home Births Mindful Mutha

    • Parenting

In episode 4 we meet Hannah Webster, community midwife, mum of two boys and one half of Grow + Gather, providing antenatal education and active birth workshops to expectant parents in Edinburgh and the Lothians. 

Hannah had two wonderful home birth experiences that she shares with us, as well as why creating a calm and nourishing environment, either at home, in hospital, or in the midwife run birthing centre can assist with the hormones of labour and birth. We discuss some of the logistics and practicalities of birthing at home, and what support is available to you in the first hours and days following a home birth. 

We also discuss, other things to consider when thinking of your birth environment, such how to approach making birth preference decisions, partner support and how we can shift our mindset when thinking of the induction process.
