Episode Synopsis

Hey hey,
Thanks for tuning into today’s conversation. Today I chat with Stephanie, mum to 2 kids with an 8 year age gap.

In this conversation we chat about
✔️having a surprise pregnancy at 19
✔️feeling treated like a child and being told how the birth was going to unfold because of her age
✔️being forced into interventions to the convenience of the hospital
✔️not being informed and not knowing that you can decline interventions
✔️feeling traumatized by first birth
✔️having another children 8 years later
✔️preparing her daughter to have a sibling
✔️going through a private midwife and involving daughter in pregnancy and birth
✔️having a healing and empowered home birth where Stephanie felt in control of her body
