EP174 Eleonora, TTC, Pregnancy & Birth of Son, Family Health, Induction, Epidural, Breastfeeding
This week I share my chat with Eleonora who talks me through the birth of her son Adam. Eleonora talks us through TTC and how she navigated those 6 month’s waiting to see a true positive test. She then talks through the plan which was to induce her at 39 weeks but this changed later in her pregnancy. Labour started all own its own but baby was happy to stay put. She was later induced and opted for an epidural which gave her the rest her body desperately needed.We chat through some early motherhood challenges later in the episode too….feeding a sleepy baby!Thanks so much EleonoraProduced & edited by Corah Gernon at She Talks Productionshttps://www.letsmatchmums.com/Support the podcastBuy Me A CoffeePatreonProduced & edited by Corah Gernon at She Talks ProductionsShow Your SupportBuy Me A CoffeePatreon Hosted on Acast.

EP173 Niamh, Two Pregnancies & Births, Induction, Emergency C-section, NICU, Placenta Previa, Private Care, Planned C-section, NICU
This week I share my chat with Niamh who talks me through her two pregnancies and births. Niamh was overdue with her first boy which led to an induction. She was later brought for an emergency c-section as baby wasn’t happy at all. She talks us through the hours and days that followed this experience.We then talk through her second birth story which was 11 weeks ago now. It was discover very early on that Niamh had placenta previa. This immediately lead to alarm bells from Niamh’s perspective but her medical team assured her all would most likely be fine.The plan was to bring her son into the world safely undergoing a c-section as they knew then she had full placenta previa. Niamh comments on the vast difference between an emergency versus planned section.We also chat through the hours and days following her second experience which were also challenging.https://www.letsmatchmums.com/Support the podcastBuy Me A CoffeePatreonProduced & edited by Corah Gernon at She Talks ProductionsProduced & edited by Corah Gernon at She Talks ProductionsShow Your SupportBuy Me A CoffeePatreon Hosted on Acast.

This week I share my chat with Eilís who talks me through her one pregnancy and the birth of her daughter. Together with her wife Laura, Eilís conceived her baby via reciprocal IVF. She shares so much from how life looked through pregnancy, partner support and just navigating life whilst trying to focus on what lay ahead.Eilís then shares her birth story. She was induced and later gave birth to her daughter vaginally. What followed was rare but resulted in emergency surgery and multiple blood transfusions. I loved chat with Eilís for so many reason. I’m so grateful she shared as much as she did.Thanks Eilíshttps://www.letsmatchmums.com/Support the podcastBuy Me A CoffeePatreonProduced & edited by Corah Gernon at She Talks ProductionsProduced & edited by Corah Gernon at She Talks ProductionsShow Your SupportBuy Me A CoffeePatreon Hosted on Acast.
