    Episode 120 - Preparing for posterior labour

    Mel brings some practical tips for preparing for a posterior labour. You never know which labour and birth are going to be impacted by posterior position of the baby (facing the front instead of facing the back) and the labour pattern can be very different. Being prepared for a posterior labour also means you are ready for any labour. This episode is great preparation for labour full stop, but you’ll also be prepared for a posterior labour. For more episodes to help you with posterior labour also listen to episodes: 118, 116, 115, 90, 86, 83, 61, 60.   A special thanks to our episode Sponsor: Bliss Birth  Thankyou to our sponsor, Ariel from Bliss Birth.

    Episode 119 - What choices did Mel make for her births?

    Ever wondered what Mel chose for her own births? And how it all went? Today she spills the tea about her own personal births through an interview with Anna from Sacred Birth International who interviewed Mel about her birth stories on the Natural Birth podcast… we can think of no better way to celebrate 1 MILLION DOWNLOADS for the Great Birth Rebellion podcast than to share a raw story about the choices Mel made for her own pregnancy and birth journeys - you’ll hear what I did for my tiny pre-term baby and also hear the backstory about how I laughed my second baby out. Big thanks to Anna from @thenaturalbirthpodcast for interviewing me and facilitating this storytelling.    To get on the mailing list for the podcast and to access the resource folders for each episode, visit www.melaniethemidwife.com Premium podcast members Hub Being a premium podcast member gives you access to the transcript and additional resources for each episode AND the 'ask Mel a question' button so you can submit questions for the monthly 'Ask me anything' episode.

    Episode 118 - What is posterior labour like?

    Posterior labour refers to the circumstance where the baby is facing toward the front to the womans pubic hair as opposed to anterior where the baby is facing the womans bum during labour. The position of the baby has an impact on the process and outcome of labour and in this episode Sarah Langford (midwife, mother and PhD research candidate) talks about her research on posterior labours. We quickly learn what little is known about the experience of posterior labour and what Sarah’s work is doing to fill that gap. Sarah shares research about the outcomes of posterior labour and possible reasons why posterior labours h are feared by women and care providers alike. In this episode we seek to turn the dialogue on it’s head and next week in episode 119, the great birth rebellion will focus on how to prepare for posterior labour    If you are keen to participate in Sarah’s research and get access to the 16 page reference list for this episode, you’ll find all the details in the resource folder - the resource folder is accessible to anyone on the mailing list for this podcast.
