Day Sixty- Final Stage of Labour Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

It is day 60 (oh my gosh I do not know how!!) and I am discussing the last stage of labour, yes your beautiful bundle of joy is with you but the labour journey is not quite over yet. I will discuss what your body gets up to during this stage, including birthing your placenta and how the incredible bond between mum and baby supports this stage. I will also discuss what else is going on around you during this stage, which at the time you will probably be too oblivious to at the time due to focusing on your new bubs.

Day Fifty-Nine- Birth Breathing & Crowning Oct 23, 2019

Show notes

..and now, the baby will enter the world! In this podcast I will discuss the last stage of birthing baby (no not the last stage of labour all together, there is more of that to come). In this episode I will discuss the change you will experience in regards to your surges and with that, comes a change in your breathing- I recap birth breathing and give some hints & tips for birth breathing your baby out.

Day Fifty-Eight- The Pelvic Station Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

Just when you think you have learned a lot and know most of the terminology out there, you hear something and and think "what the..." for me it was this term and the numbers related to 'The Pelvic station'. In the short episode I am talking about what this is, when you will hear it being discussed and what it means... because knowledge it power!

Day Fifty-Seven- Completion of the opening & thinning phase Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

A long title for this episode! I am essentially discussing the end of the early phase of labour and the change or transition (which will feel smooth & euphoric- yes you read that correctly!) when we go from the up stage of labour to the down stage. I discuss whats going on in our bodies, how we may feel and what we can do- which is mostly nothing because this is the time we give over to our awesome bodies!

Day 56- Resting Labour Oct 20, 2019

Show notes

In this episode I am discussing a slow or resting labour; why it happens and what to do... the good news is, IT IS NORMAL and for the majority of women your labour will rest at some point and you will not need medical intervention because of it. Instead, I will talk about some of the reasons out body needs to take a rest, when it happens and natural ways to get labour re-started again.

Day Fifty-Five- The Opening & Thinning Phase Oct 20, 2019

Show notes

In this episode I will explore further early labour; particularly what is going on physiologically- because knowledge is power! The more we know about the biology of our body, the more we can trust it and relax into labour. I also go through some 'hallmarks' you may come across during this part of labour; little nods to tell you things are going in the right direction.

Day Fifty-Four- Early labour Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

It is time to talk labour; how will I know, what will it feel like, what is happening and what should I do ?! Well most importantly you should trust your body and allow your instincts to tell you what to do.. but it helps to be a little informed. In this episode I will discuss the physiology of the first part of labour, what you can do to keep it calm & relaxed and how to put your Hypnobirthing practice into action.

Day Fifty-Three- Inducing Labour Naturally Oct 17, 2019

Show notes

After a midwife appointment, and being told as a first time mum I am likely to go over my "due date" (the make belief concept!) I wanted to discuss some ways to induce labour naturally. So from hot curries to getting hot under the sheets; in this episode I cover several methods to induce your labour naturally.

Day Fifty-Two- Signs of labour Oct 17, 2019

Show notes

Today I am talking about how our amazingly wonderful bodies give us signs that labour is getting closer; in this episode I am discussing those signs, what you might see, feel and experience as labour is approaching.

Fifty- One- Practice Labour Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

...aka Braxton Hicks. But when I found out it is called Braxton Hicks, literally after a guy called John I prefer the term Practice Labour, after all that is exactly what it is! In this episode I will talk about what they feel like (or what I THINK they feel like), why it happens and what it means nearing labour.
