This epsiode is a conversation between Annalee Atia and Alysha-leigh Fameli. Alysha-leigh is PhD student/Registered Psychologist University of Sydney. Alicia-leigh has already undertaken important research to recognise childbirth related PTSD and it's impact on the early mother-infant relationship. She has also worked on a study titled ‘Assessment of childbirth-related post traumatic stress disorder in Australian mothers: Psychometric properties of the City Birth Trauma Scale'. As part of her new and current research, she is seeking the participation of mothers with infants aged 0-6 months for participation in a clinical interview, observation and online survey. If this is you, check out our links below to see how you can be involved. Your experiences matter and recording them safely and officially helps to prevent future harm and creates the space for others to have their experiences validated.

Hi out there to our listeners, its Annalee. It is Tuesday, 8th of March in 2022. We are bringing you a special bulletin on the catastrophic flooding in Northern NSW, Australia. In the early hours of Monday 27th February, a little over a week ago, heavy rains causing what was already severe flooding, took a fast turn and created what has been deemed by some scientists as a ‘rain bomb'. The scenes across Northern NSW have been nothing short of harrowing and the community response as a result a powerful reminder of immense good that is available within us all. I'm catching up with PBB's Oni Blecher who's on the ground in Mullumbimby, one of the region's badly hit towns. We address the current needs in the community, what our organisation is doing to support families and lessons for the wider community.

This is a special edition interview coming from the SheBirths podcast ! In this conversation, Annalee Atia from Maternity Choices Australia and PBB Media speaks with Nadine Richardson about how adverse times can further inspire us to commit to being responsible in advocating for our choices in Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond. This is not a 'how to' guide, rather a reminder of human rights in healthcare settings, specifically in the pregnancy, birth, and parenting realms. These times are confusing for most. Our value systems are swimming hard to keep up with variations of instruction and direction. What does this mean for birth ? Our Birth rights are never in lock down. Thank you for your support.

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 2 - Your Birth Rights Are Not In LockdownOver this pandemic particularly our second lockdown people have become more aware of their rights, mainly in regards to having support people at their birth.Annalee Atia joins us to help explain the context and history of maternity care in Australia and how we compare globally. Annalee works through the nonprofit community-centric organisation Pregnancy Birth and Beyond Media to help bring about positive change in the healthcare system for families.We talk about many factors that influence our healthcare and the policies. We discuss what informed consent actually is. A Queensland study of over 3500+ women surveyed showed that only 48% of women who had a planned caesarean section were informed and had consented to have their procedure and 26% of women were not informed or consented to their episiotomies.We discuss the wonderful unpaid work women do, the lack of feedback, what type of data is important in decision making, induction of labour, the need for responsive dynamic systems, the disparities of choices available to women and what this all means to you at the end of the day. The truth is that no one is legally responsible for your birth except for you.To find out more go to:http://www.pbbmedia.org/informed-consent.htmlhttps://www.safetyandquality.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-09/sq20-030_-_fact_sheet_-_informed_consent_-_nsqhs-8.9a.pdfhttp://www.pbbmedia.org/informed-consent-for-clinicians.htmlhttp://humanrightsinchildbirth.org/index.php/rights/https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/jonathan-haidt-the-moral-matrix-breaking-out-of-our-righteous-minds/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theorywww.pbbmedia.orgwww.maternitychoices.orgwww.annaleeatia.comYour FREE She Births® Pregnancy Guide: www.shebirths.com/pg

PBB Special Bulletin/Interview with Alecia Staines, Director of Maternity Consumer NetworkIf you are tuning in from Australia, this is an important message to women, people, families and community members accessing maternity healthcare services. A federal election is coming up and your voice is needed in improving maternity care! Welcome to Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond, I’m Annalee Atia with a special News Bulletin for Australians listeners today, Tuesday 30th March. I’m speaking with Alecia Staines, Director of one of our largest maternity consumer advocacy organisations - Maternity Consumer Network, she is also the host and creator of the podcast ‘Birth - the forgotten Feminist Issue’ (check it out, its excellent), a Hypnobirthing teacher and mother of five. We caught up last night after one of Alecia’s classes to discuss our upcoming Federal elections in Australia and how we can use the opportunities federal elections bring about to improve maternity health care services. Some of you might know that I am also the National President of Maternity Choices Australia, our longest standing maternity advocacy organisation and this is the first time I have had the pleasure of interviewing Alecia, after many years of crossing paths through our work. Join us for a fast-paced and illuminating discussion on how you can participate in improving maternity healthcare services in your area, and why its so important that you do! Share this interview with friends and family, write to your local MP and keep us posted about your progress! All the details are in the show notes following. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE MATERNITY SERVICES: Get in touch with your local federal MP and candidates and let them know that maternity care matters to you! HOW TO DO IT:Look up the Federal PM for your electorate (your town/where you live is located within a specific electorate). You will also want to look up the candidates for this seat for the three major parties. Email them with your personal note and attach the Brief (see below) if applicable. You can request a meeting with them to ensure they understand just how important these issues are. In your email and within the brief, add your name, contact number and postal address (this will ensure a reply). Follow up with a phone call to your MP.->> Keep up posted about your progress! Email hello@pbbmedia.org or management@maternitychoices.org.au you can also let us know via socials! Use the hashtag #BetterMaternity2021 and we will find you on FB, IG, Twitter etc!WHO CAN DO IT?Anyone who cares about our Australian maternity healthcare services, especially health consumers (people who access healthcare services) and support people. THE BRIEF / AKA what to ask your elected federal MP's and candidates to commit to this coming election (you can also find this online at www.maternotyconsumernetwork.org.au under campaigns):Background:Current maternity spending by government is about $7 billion per year. The current birth rate is around 300,000 births per year. Outcomes:Despite having such high financial input, outcomes are relatively poor:* 1/3 women have birth trauma. 2/3 of this is due to disrespectful treatment* Only 8% of women can access continuity of midwifery carer- the best type of maternity care* Caesarean rate 36% - more than double the recommended rate by WHO* 43% of low risk women having their labour induced. Many are reporting not having informed consent. * 11-fold variance in 3rd/4th degree tears * Preterm birth rate of aboriginal babies is between 2 and 7 times that of non-indigenous babies. Solutions (what to ask your MP to lobby for)1. Increase continuity of midwifery carer to:-Reduce unnecessary intervention -reduce preterm birth rate for Aboriginal women and babies-increase breastfeeding rates-reduce birth trauma and PNDAThis is outlined in the 2019 National Strategy for Australian Maternity Services. The Federal Government provides continuity of midwifery carer to women via private midwives. 2. Bundled Funding as suggested by IHPA in 2017, national strategy in 2019 and MBS review of Participating Midwives report in 20193. Published data on hospital and clinician outcomes including: Patient Reported Experience Measure and Patient Reported Outcome Measures. Woman Centred Care:To ensure regular monitoring and evaluation of the National Strategy for Australian Maternity Services, consumers need to be involved through consultation and decision-making processes.

I recognise that the sovereignty of the pre-colonial peoples of these lands was never ceded and that recognition of culture, connection to land and waters and the sovereignty of all indigenous peoples across Australia is a matter of current and vital importance.Recorded on 29th March, 2021Guest: Alecia StainesAlecia is a mother-of-5, maternity reform lobbyist, Director of Maternity Consumer Network, former classroom teacher turned birth nerd and lives in Noosa, Queensland.

Hello there wonderful people, its Annalee from PBB, in this episode of Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond I am chatting with Dr Igor Tabrizian from the Byron Bay Health Lodge (in Australia).

Practitioners come with a holistic whole-person attitude to healthcare and work together as a team. Clients can access the care, experience and support of Integrative General Practitioners, Naturopaths, Psychologists, Acupuncturists, Physiotherapists, Health Coaches and more, all in one place. If needed the team of care providers work together to support the one patient, pooling valuable insights and solutions together.

Working in hospital medicine for 14 years and then going into combined private and general practice specialising in nutritional medicine. He looks ay at inflammation, genetics, cytokines (inflammatory messages), gut microbiome, neurotransmitters, mineral and toxic metal levels, inflammatory markers, family history and life story when treating patients. He then prioritises which issues to remedy first and works through the solution(s) as needed. Dr Tabrizian specialises in supporting patients with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), child behavioural issues, pre-conception nutrition, auto-immune disorders and inflammation. We discussed pre conception nutrition and why it is so important for both partners and especially the mother to be well prepared and healthy before becoming pregnant, we touched of course on Covid-19 and unpacked some of the common childhood disorders and how many of these can be related to nutrition and inflammation.

To familiarise all levels of your awareness with the vibrations and potential of the plants. To study herbal medicine is often only a feeding of the mind with information.

Today on the show we have a beautiful guest with us, Misa Alexander, a Canadian that calls our beloved Byron shire, home. Misa is a graphic designer and Artist who has worked around the world in various roles as a designer. She is also a mother of 3 beautiful boys one of whom is Autistic. We will be discussing the way we perceive disabilities. We will also be discussing her journey as a mother of a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disability. One of the aspects that most affect children with ASD is their ability to interact with their environment. When Misa first sent her son Hugo to pre-school she encountered first hand the effect of 'empowering his environment' – his teachers, the parents of children attending and the children themselves – to understand Hugo better and ultimately create a space where he belonged. Since then, Misa and her dear friend Erin Knutt have been working to create a visual expression of what it looks and feels like to both be; supported by your environment and be; the support needed for children with any disability to feel connected and a part of their community.We also spoke about the correlation between Gut Health and ADS and how treatment for her son has included testing his gut & supporting him through diet, microbial aspects and fat absorption support.To support their inspiring project Fergus & Delilah in shaping a generation's view on disabilities go to their website:http://fergus-delilah.comTheir Campaign runs from 30 days from the 20th of October 2015, make sure to check in during that time for best impact.Also like them up on facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/FergusDelilahCampaignFor further information if you are in Australia:https://www.autismspectrum.org.auFor further information on Microbiome & gut health research in relation to Autism Spectrum Disorder visit the following research papers (free):http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3700858/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3072352/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4591364/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21555957There are many more research paper, please do your own reaserch for specific informaiton.Thanks for tuning in,Annalee & the pregnancy Birth & Beyond team.Produced and Presented by Annalee Atia for PBB MediaCopyright Annalee Atia, PBB Media
