Episode 40! Today we hear how after 4 obstetric led hospital births, Kate began exploring her options for birth at home - but with uncertainty around private midwife availability, Kate instead chose to have a freebirth with her 5th baby. Whilst we don't cover her 4 hospital births in detail Kate does not go in to detail about her 4 hospital births however it is helpful to note that she experienced a post partum haoemoorraheg with her 3rd baby and her 4th baby was diagnosed with meconium aspiration syndrome and spent much of her first year of life on       oxygen. I think it’s important to include such details because it really contrasts how different her freebirth journey was - in a complication free birth and post partum. Kate also reflects on the importance of good support and self belief.Resources: The Rhomus of Michaelis https://www.sarawickham.com/articles-2/the-rhombus-of-michaelis/Learn more about me, my offers as a doula & the podcast here: https://www.birthingathome.com.auSupport the showReach out: www.emdrwithelsie.com.au @birthingathome_apodcast@emdr_with_elsie (EMDR info) [email protected] [email protected]
