One Mama Midwife on going for your dreams + being kind to your pregnant & post natal body
In today’s episode I chat with my friend Lauren who is a Midwife, Mum of 4 beautiful children and all round kind, gentle and inspiring woman.
Lauren talks about the joys and challenges of working as a midwife. How labour and childbirth can be empowering but also not what we expect or plan for. We also touch on her experience being an essential worker during isolation and the Covid 19 pandemic with three of her own children at home.
Practically, Lauren talks us through certain physiological changes that happen in women’s bodies during pregnancy and after birth, like;
Pelvic floor and how we can strengthen and protect this during and post pregnancy,
Mental health care during pregnancy, not just post natal,
Breast vs Bottle debate and how to know if something is not right with breastfeeding and more!
