*Content Warning: This podcast episode delves into sensitive topics such as miscarriage, birth trauma, and death, exploring the emotional complexities of these experiences, including the loss of a child, high-risk pregnancies, and the role of a bereavement doula.Have you ever wondered what it's like walking a tightrope between birth and loss? Join us, your hosts Liz and Natalie, as we welcome Sarah, a seasoned doula and mother, who has extraordinarily experienced both the joy of childbirth and the pain of loss. Sarah's rich narrative of her journey, losing her first child and navigating her way to become a bereavement doula, tugs at the heartstrings. We take a deep dive into her world, discussing the emotional support vacuum in infertility treatments and her initiative to bridge this gap, especially for military spouses.As the conversation unfolds, we tackle the pressing issues faced by high-risk mothers during childbirth and the absolute necessity of providing them adequate resources. Sarah, herself a high-risk mother, poignantly sheds light on her unique struggles and triumphs with her four living children and 13 miscarriages. A sobering revelation - nearly 45% of mothers experience birth trauma - is discussed at length, leading us to the introduction of a doula program tailored to help high-risk mothers who have experienced birth trauma heal through a positive birth experience.Moving to a more sensitive subject, we discuss death and the role of a death doula. Sarah bravely discusses her own journey of grief, losing both of her parents, and how her work with hospice led her to the discovery of death doulas. This segment underlines the emotional toll of being a death doula and the absolute necessity for self-care in this role. Sarah's story is a touching testament to the importance of human connection and the honor of accompanying someone on their end-of-life journey.

In this weeks episode, Daniella shares her story of  an incredibly traumatic c-section with her first child, the two miscarriages that followed and then her reasons behind deciding to have a home VBAC when she became pregnant again.  This heartwarming story is one that so many of you may relate to. Daniella tells of how the work she did to learn as much as she could in preparation for this recent birth, is what made the difference and helped her to succeed. The trust she built in her capability, and the way she strongly advocated for what she wanted despite pushback from the maternity services, enabled her to get the support she deserved. This is a fabulous story that you can share far and wide to help others learn the tips that Daniella has to offer. You can follow Daniella @bethebossintlIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can also purchase a copy via my website - www.birthability.co.uk Follow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner @birthabilityBook a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresford Please remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Lucy. Lucy is a Mama to my four from Australia.  She is a certified Doula and a former Midwife who just like me handed in her registration as working in the system was so traumatizing to her and she just couldn't go on any longer.  She also finally came to the sad conclusion that she was never going to be able to serve women and families authentically while she was tied to the institution, so she left.  Although initially she held a lot of grief around letting this dream of being a Midwife go.. she now feels more aligned and inspired than ever. She has since co-created a business where she can authentically show up for women and where her voice is finally free. In today's episode you'll hear about her journey through midwifery as well as the births of her babies.  Her first three were born at home with a registered Midwife and her last baby (who is 3 months old) was born with only her partner and children present. This pregnancy and birth was the most healing and transformative experience of her entire life! It truly initiated her into the Mother after years of feeling out of her body and as if she was still a young Maiden.  Curious about Lucy?

There are many other considerations, such as neurodiversity and the inclusion of different learning styles to accommodate all learners. The choice between virtual vs in-person training is unique. Utilizing both formats will enable some to feel confident and ready to take their skills to the next level. Join us as we discuss the many nuances of virtual vs in-person training.

Yum!  [50:30] How Carson's mother Kelly's involvement with NRDC (Natural Resource Defense Center) inspired her to get involved as well.  [54:03] Carson used simple items already in her kitchen to formulate C & The Moon.  [57:39] Creating intentionality with C & The Moon's products, and how friends and family encouraged her to start making these products available that they knew were helping their skin and a safe, clean choice.  [59:08] As a low maintenance beauty girl herself, one of Carson's favorite C & The Moon products is their Malibu Made Glow Oil.  [1:04:08] The importance of pregnant women getting the protein they need in a form that works best for their body.  [1:07:29] The importance of detoxing from harsh chemicals is important, but not always easy in our present day society.  [1:09:18] Tips for overcoming morning sickness.  [1:11:09] Carson's circle, the Growing Together group that serves as a support system for all things pregnancy and postpartum.  [1:13:09] What's coming in the future for Carson?  [1:14:11] For Carson, resonance feels like a vibration and has a musical tone to it.   [1:20:07] Carson's last meal would definitely be made by her husband, Chef Jonathan. It would be some type of braised meat or stew, and would end with a sumptuous chocolate and whipped cream dessert.

Mavis Kirkham is Midwifery Professor Emerita at Sheffield Hallam University and has held honorary professorial positions at the University of Technology Sydney and Auckland University of Technology. After over forty years as a clinical midwife and researcher, she is interested in reflecting and writing on birth and midwifery in its wider context. A major theme of her research has been the way in which the context of their care impacts upon childbearing women and how their working experiences impact upon midwives. She has long been concerned with how birth stories are negotiated and the impact of these stories on tellers and hearers. With Nadine Edwards she has edited a new book titled Freebirth Stories. In this episode we discuss with Mavis:About Mavis' interest in freebirth and why it seems more women are choosing this way to give birth Mavis tells us about the Freebirth stories from women and Doulas she and Nadine collected for their new bookWe discuss the importance of language in pregnancy, birth and postpartum spaces The important role that doulas play And we ask what Mavis sees as the future of midwifery  Mavis is one of those midwives who has witnessed so many parts of midwifery and her bounty of knowledge and kindness shines through in this episode.

In today's episode Caitlin details her two very different labours - her first was 40 hours long, her second only two hours. She was accepted into an MGP programme and while she did a hypnobirthing course for preparation, she admits she wasn't prepared for the intensity of labour. Her early labour stage was long and painful because of her baby's posterior position and she admits she went to hospital too early. After opting for an induction she later requested an epidural which was a really positive experience for it; it allowed her to sleep, relax and dilate to 10cm. In her second pregnancy she embraced all the education and preparation, hired a doula and planned to birth at her small local low–risk hospital. But….her baby had other plans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The methods of support provided during the third stage of labor are many. How the third stage progresses will determine the type of support appropriate for each client. Assistance with bonding, the initiation of breastfeeding, and supporting a client through a perineal tear are all ways in which a client may need the support of their doula. It is also essential for the doula to be aware of complications that may arise during the third stage to best help a client experiencing one. Complications such as postpartum hemorrhage, placenta accreta, or the need for other post-birth interventions may arise without warning. Knowing how to support the client and their partner or other support person is integral to the doula's role. Join us as we explore the many ways to support clients through the third stage of labor.

Doulas — birthing experts who provide nonmedical support during pregnancy and childbirth — have been shown to improve health outcomes and combat racial inequities in maternal mortality and morbidity.

Stefanie's passion for women's health started at an early age, in the form of studying pregnancy and childbirth. This passion is what led her to specialize in urogynecology after receiving a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. After graduation, she immersed herself in all things women's health. After countless hours of continuing education courses and extensive training through the Barral Institute, she began utilizing visceral manipulation to help restore health and functionality within the female pelvis and abdominal viscera. She feels strongly that the aches and pains, both emotionally and physically, that come before, during, and after pregnancy can be eased and prevented with gentle manual therapy, education, and guidance. In this episode, we dive into the physiology of birth, the importance of education throughout birth an labor, and where visceral manipulation and physical therapy come into play.  Connect with Dr. Stefanie https://www.fullcirclept.net https://www.instagram.com/doctor_stefanie Connect with Liz https://www.instagram.com/esandoz/?hl=en https://www.Elizabethjoy.co Get the First Trimester Survival Guide https://elizabethjoy.co/freebie Sponsors: Dime Go to https://dimebeautyco.com/ now and enter CHAVA to unlock our discount  Lume  new customers get $5 off Lume's Starter Pack with code CHAVA at LumeDeodorant.com Get better sleep now with Blissy and use code CHAVA to get an additional 30% off at blissy.com/CHAVA   Why Chava?

Today Renee shares her three physiological birth stories so consider this a wonderfully positive episode in honour of Homebirth Awareness Week. She was living in New York with her partner when she fell pregnant at 21 so they hightailed it home to Queensland and had a really positive birth at their local public hospital. Renee admits that the first year of motherhood was lonely; she didn't have any friends who were also mothers and she had really high expectations of herself that prompted postnatal anxiety. By the time her second was born she had a community of friends supporting her homebirth and conscious postpartum and she trained as a birth doula soon after. Her third pregnancy was her most challenging but the birth was very quick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I'm talking with Malisa Dekker, a Postpartum Doula and Chef based in Brooklyn, New York, about her profound journey through two contrasting birth and postpartum experiences that shaped her passion for postpartum wellness. Malisa's first birth took place during the tumultuous times of the COVID-19 pandemic, where interventions and a lack of support left her feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. With the desire for change, Malisa embarked on her second pregnancy, seeking empowerment and a holistic approach to birthing. She details her transformational shift to a home birth with the support of a dedicated midwife, her partner Taylor, and a community of friends who understood the importance of empathetic care and emphasized the profound impact having one's emotional needs addressed during labor can have on a birthing person's experience. Malisa's experience led her to become a passionate advocate for postpartum wellness and support, driving her to become a Postpartum Doula. Through her unique combination of skills as a Doula and Chef, she aims to provide nourishment, care, and empathy to new parents during the challenging postpartum period.
