A brilliant episode for parents looking for hope and inspiration for a 2nd birth experience. Pip shares with us an excellent example of the differences between an induction plus subsequent intervention versus an informed, educated physiological homebirth.We chat about her first birth to Arthur in order to understand the context of how she enters into her pregnancy with Wilbur. I mention how Pip displayed classic signs of trauma, although the word ‘trauma’ wasn’t how she thought about her experience - until Wilbur’s pregnancy.Please note: there may be distressing information about her experience in this portion of the chat – if you do not feel up to listening to this today – head straight to 40 minutes to hear about her pregnancy and birth to Wilbur – it’s not a story to miss!Fortunately, Pip resolved to become informed and educated. She learnt so much about normal natural physiological birth, she gets her head into the game, with the Positive Births online recorded course. She shares about the amazing support from her midwife and – then the fast, smooth and beautiful home birth.Topics covered also include: traumatic first birth, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy.Resources mentioned : Sara Wickham, Sarah Buckley, Rachel Reed, Midwives Cauldron podcastIf you too would like to prepare for your positive birth, head to www.positivebirths.co.nz to find a variety of options.
