Listen "PSS in conversation with Neurodivergent Birth "
Episode Synopsis
On this week’s episode of PSS in Conversation With, we are joined by Victoria White from ND Birth (Neurodivergent Birth CIC). Victoria unpacks how ND Birth improves support for neurodivergent people across the perinatal journey—through CPD-accredited training for doulas, midwives and perinatal MH teams, rooted in four pillars: sensory processing, communication, executive functioning, and mental health. She shares their upcoming neurodivergent-specific antenatal course, a global ND-friendly doula/antenatal teacher directory, and how course income powers a Doula Access Fund so neurodivergent parents can access tailored support.We also dig into the intersection of hyperemesis and neurodivergence: why HG can become “sensory hell”; the role of interoception and possible hormonal sensitivity; and practical ways to cut overwhelm at home and in hospital (low-stim environments, eye masks/earplugs/headphones, familiar textures and “safe” foods)—prep that also doubles as smart birth planning. For healthcare professionals, Victoria offers simple, high-impact adjustments: ask what the individual needs, adapt communication, enable reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act, and support tools/reminders. Her closing message: neurodivergent parents have the right to equitable care—and bring powerful strengths in attunement, problem-solving and advocacy.For support with Hyperemesis Gravidarum please visit www.pregnancysicknesssupport.org.uk
