EP180 Hannah, Three Pregnancies, Miscarriage, Two Homebirths (SECMs)
This week I share my chat with Hannah who talks me through each of three pregnancies. Hannah revisits TTC, pregnancy loss and giving birth at home supported by SECMs. After suffering a miscarriage with her first preganancy Hannah was blighted with anxiety throughout the early stages of her subsequent pregnancies. During a routine scan on her second pregnancy it was discovered Hannah was pregnant with twins but one of the twins didn't survive which is described as a "vanishing twin". We talk through her decision to birth each of her babies at home surrounded by her husband and amazing midwives.Thanks HannahInstagram Give A Little GrubProduced & edited by Corah Gernon at She Talks ProductionsShow Your SupportBuy Me A CoffeePatreon Hosted on Acast.

EP179 Emma, Two Births, Epidural, Unmedicated, Life with a Reflux Baby
This week I share my chat with Emma who talks me through each of her two births. Emma opted for an epidural with her first labour giving her the much needed relief she was looking for. She then talks us through her second pregnancy which was a shock but very much wanted. At the latter stages of pregnancy she was just ready for baby to join her family and thankfully he decided he was ready too. She went into spontaneous labour and had an unmedicated birth. The days, weeks and months to follow were so tough with her son suffering from reflux. Emma revisits just how tough it was with the sleepless nights, feeling completely helpless, the constant vomiting and more. Together with her husband they attended every practitioner under the sun in sought of help. The cure was time it seems. This episode will resonate with so many of you who have tried to comfort your babies through months of colic or reflux, you certainly aren't alone.

This week I share part one of my chat with @aoifekeogh20 who talks me through her first pregnancy and the birth of her gorgeous boy, Rían. Aoife and her husband received the devastating news that their gorgeous baby had a life limiting condition. It was thought at the time their baby wouldn’t survive to full term but Rían defied the odds and lived for 14 months. Aoife revisits receiving the diagnosis and everything that comes with that from scans, conversations, preparation for the unknown and undergoing a C-section which is something she really didn’t want. She shares navigating so much more which leads us into part two of her story which will follow next week, pregnancy through grief.Aoifes story is so hard to hear for so many reasons but I have absolutely no doubt that it will provide many others with comfort.

EP176 Sarah Louise PT2/2 Two Planned Homebirths, Miscarriage
This week I share my chat with Sarah Louise (The Village Pilates) who talks me through the second part of her story, two home births and her experience with miscarriage. In PT1 of Sarah Louises (EP 166) story she shares how quick her second labour was birthing her daughter at home which was completely unplanned, she was coming and there was no doubt about it. Considering how quick her second labour was she naturally decided to opt in for the home birth scheme under the care of the SECM. She then shares her own experience with miscarriage and her decision to TTC straight away. We then chat through the birth of her fourth daughter which was equally as gorgeous as her previous story.
