Hey hey, 

Thanks for tuning into today’s conversation. Today I chat with Bethany, mum to baby boy Flynn.  


In this conversation we chat about 

✔️doing as much research as possible during pregnancy to feel empowered 
✔️being told baby had a high risk of trisomy 21 and how it affected Bethany’s pregnancy 
✔️preparing for birth and doing calm birth course 
✔️the waiting game that starts once going “past your due date” and how it mentally was draining for Bethany 
✔️going into labour a day before scheduled induction and being in disbelief that she was actually in labour  
✔️not feeling like herself in the first weeks after baby’s arrival 
✔️feeling like she had no motherhood instincts and other intrusive thoughts 
✔️reaching out early to find help for her mental health 
✔️not wanting to be alone with baby early on due to feeling anxious 
✔️debriefing birth and fourth trimester with a psychologist
