This Is Where You Came From Amber Dawn

In this episode, we chat Tiffany who gave birth as the first lockdown due to Covid occurred in Nova Scotia, early 2020. As the restrictions changed rapidly throughout her experience, we hear about the impacts on her postpartum recovery, her baby's well being and how that has impacted her for months after the experience. 



This is part 1! Part 2 will follow next week. 

This is a short 5 minute recording of the Birth Affirmation Deck!

This long overdue episode is with Jasmine MacLellan, mother of 3. 

She tells the story of her identical twin girls and the many complications that arose (and went away) and others that followed. From a recommended termination of one to twin to twin transfusion to bedrest to pre-eclampsia to a premature delivery to two healthy babies! 

This episode is short, sweet and such a great story! 

This week's episode has a local guest, Nicole, sharing the story of her and her son, Oliver. 

This story does deal with loss, grief and mental health struggles. It is powerful, truthful and an absolutely essential conversation. This story has a big impact and I thank Nicole and Oliver for bringing this to light. 

This week's episode is Part 2 of the story of Hayley and Matias. We discuss her postpartum experience and recovery and how that led to her creation of a local business called The V. Coach, supporting folks in their perinatal period with fitness. 

You can find Hayley on Instagram @the.v.coach and on Facebook by the same name. 

This episode features Hayley Chapman, owner of the V. Coach and mother to Matias. 

Content Warning: Hayley's story includes mention of bleeding during pregnancy, hyperemesis gravidum, and birth trauma/injuries. 

Hyperemesis Gravidum is a medical condition during pregnancy that involves severe vomiting and nausea. It may lead to multiple complications (dehydration, weight loss, ketosis). It is often treated with Diclectin (which is essentially an antihistamine and a form of  Vit. B6). Some times the treatment is effective, other times it is not.
