In episode 19, Sarah walks us through her 7 year learning and unlearning around pregnancy and birth which led to her choosing a homebirth for her 2nd baby, Quentin. In the 7 years, Sarah experienced many challenges, including hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), postnatal anxiety, an ultra sound drama and an IGUR (Intrauterine growth restriction) scare. So many of these anxieties were created and perpetuated by the many attempts to pathologise and medicalise birth.  Homebirth story begins approx 45:00Links to people/business/resources for this episode:What is HG? https://www.hyperemesis.org/about-hyperemesis-gravidarum/Sara Wickham GBS resources https://www.sarawickham.com/topic-resources/group-b-strep-resources/The Great Birth Rebellion Podcast on GBS  https://www.melaniethemidwife.com/podcasts/the-great-birth-rebellion/episodes/2147792078Solaine Douglas Nutritionist - Gestastional Diabetes and the GTT https://solainedouglas.com/2022/04/25/the-oral-glucose-tolerance-test-ogtt-alternatives-with-solaine-douglas/The evidence around Ultra Sounds (or rather, lack of)Birthing Instincts Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/297-the-light-dark-sides-of-ultrasound/id1552816683?i=1000599733024The Great Birth Rebellion https://www.melaniethemidwife.com/podcasts/the-great-birth-rebellion/episodes/2147903261CTG evidence and problems https://www.sarawickham.com/topic-resources/fetal-monitoring-research-resources/The risks of coached pushing https://www.better-birth.co.uk/post/guided-vs-spontaneous-pushingHomebirth Australia Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/212985225383780/Types of cord insertion (placenta) https://sfbirthdoulaandplacentaencapsulationservices.com/birth-blog/2015/8/22/placenta-variationsPerinatal and postnatal depression and anxiety support https://panda.org.au/Resources for IUGR and scans here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vSSerYXB6XBsrd4B1sZwVGhdKRwvBqHa?usp=sharingCHAPTERS03:11Choosing the Public System and Hyperemesis08:18Induction and Hospital Experience13:24Epidural and Pushing17:34Postpartum Experience and Mental Health20:11Finding Out About Second Pregnancy28:15Considering Home Birth34:34Misdiagnosis and Confirmation of Pregnancy38:58Telling Family and Friends45:33Support from Sister-in-Law and Mother48:21Education and Pre-Birth Counseling49:19Preparing for the Birth52:10Clearing the Mind53:07IUGR Scare54:44Preparing the Space for Birth01:13:45Going into Labor01:18:13Labor Intensifies01:25:14Transition and Pushing01:29:58Baby's Arrival01:36:08Birthing the Placenta01:37:01Exploring the Placenta and Baby's Size01:37:56The Birth of Quentin01:38:46No Tearing and Empowerment01:39:17Perception of Birth and Recovery01:40:14Empowering Women's Birth Experiences01:41:06The Impact of Continuous Care01:41:21Gratitude and ConclusionSupport the showReach out: www.emdrwithelsie.com.au @birthingathome_apodcast@emdr_with_elsie (EMDR info) [email protected] [email protected]
