Manage episode 339395690 series 3011050
In this weeks episode I share my chat with Gina who talks me through her four pregnancies and three very different births. At 9 weeks gestation Gina suffered early pregnancy loss with her first pregnancy. Soon after Gina conceived again, shares the details surrounding the birth of her first child. Her experience wasn't one that she envisioned which impacted those early postpartum days as a first time mother. Gina then shares two further vaginal births both unmedicated but each very different.
Gina put so much time into preparing for her most recent birth attending various classes and availing of supports from hypnobirthing, using @gentlebirthofficial and @pamjdpilates was she remarked was ‘life changing’. At 34 weeks Gina started to bleed so was admitted to hospital until baby arrived at 37 weeks.
Thankfully all was well and got to feel that oxytocin rush!
