Episode Synopsis

Episode 73 is share by Hala living on Kanamaluka country, the land of the Palawa  People. She shares her experience with accessing midwifery continuity of care and ultimately her decision in labour with her second baby to stay at home and birth her bay girl Solène in her bath tub - just how she had envisioned. And then chose to go to hospital for a check up after the birth of Solen’s placenta.  We talk about many topics in this episode including the power and importance of pain in a physiological birth, the transgenerational impact of birth, the transformational journey of pregnancy and birth,  and the impact of the modern world and current maternity system on midwifery and continuity of care. Resources: Dr Rachel Reed's very very good blogMeconium stained amniotic fluidThe Midwives Cauldron PodcastSupport the showReach out: www.emdrwithelsie.com.au @birthingathome_apodcast@emdr_with_elsie (EMDR info) [email protected] [email protected]
