• Ep 10 - Lauren Cutts
    Feb 28 2024
    This week I got to talk to Lauren about her experience with her daughter and her son. Lauren when overdue with both her children, with her daughter she had a long latent stage of labour therefore she had some pethidine to help manage the pain. However her 1st and 2nd stage came on much quicker. With her song she used the water to help manage her pain and gave birth to him in the pool. Two gorgeous, positive birth stories for you to listen to. Thanks!

  • Ep 9 - Nicole Sutherland
    Feb 21 2024
    This week I got to speak to Nicole about her experience with her son Oakley. After a few confusing appointments throughout her pregnancy she was admitted to hospital at 29 weeks with HELLP syndrome, a life threatening pregnancy condition which can only be solved by giving birth to your child. This lead Nicole to have Oakley at just 29 weeks and resulted in a 9 week nicu stay. Nicole takes us through the emotions and heartbreak involved in this, and finally the best day of her life, when she got to take her son home.

  • Ep 8 - Erin Cox
    Feb 14 2024

    Hello everyone! I hope you are well! I just wanted to apologise on here for not managing to release an episode last week – but hoping this one will make up for it.

    I got to speak to the lovely Erin about her experiences with her two children. We talk about her surprise pregnancy and positive birth experience with her son, as well as her 5 year unexplained fertility issues and a chemical miscarriage. She did eventually fall pregnant with her gorgeous daughter and we chat all about her accidently free birthing experience!

    Just a heads up we both had our babies with us for this episode, however it is mainly my daughter you can hear throughout, although I have done my best to edit!

    Enjoy!

    Jan 17 2024

    This week I got to speak to the lovely Hannah. She told me about her first birth with her son Alexander, which resulted in a c-section under general anesthetic. Because of this she had birth trauma, and she tells us how she dealt with this and managed to be ready for birth again with a second baby. Hannah went for a VBAC and that is exactly what she got. She found the experience of birthing her daughter extremely healing, and it is just beautiful to hear. Cant wait for you all to hear this one!
