    #64 BIRTH STORY Avoiding Pelvic Girdle Pain, Pelvic Floor Injury & Posterior Birth with Nat Saunders

    #64 BIRTH STORY Avoiding Pelvic Girdle Pain, Pelvic Floor Injury & Posterior Birth with Nat Saunders

    Welcome to the latest episode of the NBC podcast! Today, I caught up with Nat Saunders, who you might remember from her first birth story (Ep 41). Back then, Nat shared her experience of a natural posterior birth, resonating deeply with countless mamas out there.
    Now, nearly nine months later, Nat returns with her adorable nine-month-old, Winnie, in the background, ready to share the journey of her second pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. Expect the unexpected, as Nat's second experience proves to be remarkably different from her first – which is actually super common for second-time mamas!
    In this episode, Nat delves into the three key changes she aimed for this time around: strengthening her pelvic floor, minimising pelvic girdle pain, and optimising her baby's position. Whether it was avoiding another posterior birth or ensuring a smoother labour process, Nat's insights and tips are invaluable for anyone embarking on their own pregnancy journey.
    Now, I’m not about to spoil whether Nat achieved her ideal birth outcome or not - you'll have to tune in to find out! But trust me, Nat's wisdom, warmth, and wit make this episode an absolute must-listen. 
    In this podcast we discuss:
    How to avoid pelvic girdle pain- particularly when you are susceptible to itHow to get back to exercise ASAP postpartumHow to prevent pelvic floor injury, and recover from pelvic floor injury postpartumHow to avoid a posterior birth second time around!How to create space in the uterus for your babe to be in the optimal positionMothering with 2Transitioning to solids

    #62 BIRTH STORY Positive birth experience where you are in control WITH an epidural with Jacquie

    #62 BIRTH STORY Positive birth experience where you are in control WITH an epidural with Jacquie

    Welcome to the Natural Birth Code Podcast! So excited to have you here, ready to dive into some real talk about birth experiences. Today, I am absolutely stoked to introduce you to Jacque. Trust me, you're gonna adore her. She's an NBC mama who's been through the whole shebang – yoga, birth workshops, you name it. And now, seven months post-birth, she's here to share her journey.
    Get ready, because Jacque's story is a game-changer. We're talking about her experience with an epidural, and let me tell you, it's not your typical tale. See, we often have these preconceived notions about what's "good" or "bad" when it comes to birth preferences. But Jacque's here to flip that script. She embraced the unexpected, and her positive attitude toward her epidural is seriously inspiring.
    You know, it's all about facing those fears head-on. We've all been there, sweating bullets over what might go wrong. But when you shine a light on those worries and give 'em a name, they lose their power. Jacque did just that, and her journey shows us that sometimes, the scariest thing on paper turns out to be a blessing in disguise.
    So, get ready for some major inspiration – this is one podcast episode you won't wanna miss!
    In this podcast we discuss:
    Conception with a sperm donorThe importance of a support networkPregnancy preparation for birthHow to have a positive birth experience where you are in control WITH an epiduralSingle parentingThe importance of trusting in your intuition, and having confidence during your labour and birth experience
    This podcast is for:
    The woman who can’t handle the thought of their birth going not to planThe woman wildly scared of getting the epiduralThe single mamasMama who has difficulty in trusting and listening to their intuition- where does it even come from?Mamas who feel that because they haven’t birthed before they have no idea what to expectThe Mamas who love a good birth storyGet your FREE 14 day Pregnancy Preparation Guide here: https://naturalbirthco.myflodesk.com/14dayguide (for pregnant mamas who have no idea where to start.)

Fantastic!

Excellent stories and conversations around positive birth. The host does emphatically say “yesss” far too many times while the guest is speaking…. Which can be cringey at times but overall an excellent podcast !!

Yaaaaaaaaaa

Really enjoyed the show but I cannot get over the constant interrupting “yaaaaaaaa!! Yaaaaaa!” Had to stop listening, the “yaa!” Was like a broken record
