In the US, an estimated 70-75% of women who give birth use an epidural for pain relief during labor. Epidural anesthesia during labor can affect bladder function by delaying the return of bladder sensation and potentially leading to urinary retention. This can be due to the nerves that control bladder function being affected by the epidural, reducing the sensation of bladder fullness and the urge to urinate. Intrapartum, there is no universal guidance regarding bladder management with labor epidural analgesia (LEA). Does one method of bladder care intrapartum affect mode of delivery more than the other? Is it better to have an indwelling catheter or to perform intermittent caths. What about patient self-voiding with a bedpan. Let's summarize the data.

We bring back one of our favorite guests, Dr. Bernardini to talk about multiple dramatic injuries in the last two weeks including a gruesome both bone forearm fracture for a top prospect rookie for the Reds, Tyler Callihan.

We discuss Derek Carr and why he is choosing to retire as well as some other major injuries!

Send us a textToday we interviewed Cally, who shared her experiences across two very different births. Her first pregnancy took place during COVID, where limited access to care led her to an OB by default. Red flags emerged throughout the pregnancy, but she continued with the same provider. After a long posterior labour that ended in an epidural and Syntocinon, she began to reflect more deeply on her birth choices.We also spoke about her breastfeeding journey—navigating early challenges, pumping and bottle-feeding for nearly two years—and her experience with a medically managed miscarriage, which she approached with intention and care.In her third pregnancy, Cally initially returned to her OB but switched to a private midwife at 26 weeks after feeling unsupported in her birth preferences. She went on to plan a homebirth that honoured her values and autonomy. When a postpartum hemorrhage occurred, it was swiftly and effectively managed by her midwifery team at home—including resuscitation—demonstrating the high level of skill and preparedness within well-supported homebirth care.Links:Mama Midwives Core & Floor Restore Free Antenatal ClassesThe Pink Elephant Support Network Red Nose  Info on APGAR Score Ten years of publicly funded homebirth services in Victoria Mothers & Babies Report - APGAR dataNational Core Maternity Indicators - APGARWhat is Medical management of miscarriage Support the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

In this episode we speak with Sammy Veall, artist and former yoga teacher and studio owner, about the contrasting pregnancy and birth experiences of her two boys. Sammy shares her experience of an unplanned caesarean in a private hospital under obstetric care, and how that experience shaped her decision to have a homebirth after caesarean (HBAC) with private midwives for her second son. Sammy speaks beautifully about the ripple effects of her positive and transformative birth experience on not only her mothering, but career and life choices more broadly. A content warning — Sammy speaks openly about a non-consensual stretch and sweep late in pregnancy with her first baby, and the physical and mental impact this had on her both in the lead up to and during that labour, as well as in preparing to birth again. We discuss epidurals, and the impact of that loss of sensation for Sammy, physically and emotionally. Sammy speaks about the importance of following your own instincts and listening to your own inner voice, of choosing a care provider that not only aligns with your wishes for birth, but the preparatory work you are doing. She shares her experience of care from a private midwife and doula in pregnancy, and how those relationships, and that of her husband, supported her through her own crises of confidence in the lead up to labour, as well as through the intensity of her labour and physiological birth of her baby and placenta at home. 02:59 Initial visions for birth and choosing her first care provider06:13 First pregnancy08:21 Stretch & sweep leading into labour 12:07 Epidural and unplanned caesarean18:38 Postpartum experience and coming to terms with first birth experience24:07 Preparing for a second birth, working through previous trauma26:46 Navigating societal and family's views on homebirth and HBAC28:00 Choosing private midwifery care31:39 Choosing doula support 38:21 The onset of labour53:58 Postpartum experience and support56:37 Empowerment beyond birth Links:MAMA Midwifery Practice MAMA Midwifery Birth Class - VBAC Rhea Dempsey's Birth Debrief & Embracing the Intensity birth course Jo Askham doula

Send us a textIn this episode of our mini-series on homebirth transfer, we share the story of Tiahn, a mother who, inspired by the documentary Birth Time, knew that homebirth was the path for her. As she approached 42 + weeks, concerns about potential pre-eclampsia arose, but she made the choice to decline induction and continue her pregnancy.Throughout her journey, Tiahn faced significant pressure from friends and family, especially towards the end of her pregnancy and even during labour. Despite this, she stayed firm in her decision to follow her instincts and birth her baby on her own terms. After a long labour at home, she opted to transfer to the hospital. During labour, she chose to rest with an epidural, but complications soon emerged when her baby's heart rate dropped and meconium was found in the waters after an artificial rupture of membranes. A caesarean was quickly recommended.Links:Birth Time DocoSpinning Babies Support the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

At 55 years old, Joey was living with 7 herniated discs and had been in chronic pain for almost 20 years. He suffered from:✅ L5-S1, L4-L5, L3-L4, L2-L3, L1-L2 (ALL 5 lumbar discs herniated!)✅ T12-L1, T11-T12 (thoracic-lumbar herniations)His pain first started in 2007, when a debilitating back spasm left him stuck on the ground, unable to move.For nearly two decades after, he dealt with severe back pain and sciatica flare-ups every 6-7 months. He tried everything to get better:❌ Epidural injections – only temporary relief❌ Physical therapy – generic exercises, no lasting change❌ Decompression therapy – expensive and ineffective❌ Inversion tables & back braces – no long-term results❌ Surgery consultations – told he'd be in and out of the hospital for lifeWith nothing working, Joey assumed this was just his reality—until he took a chance on the Whealth Limitless Program.How Whealth Limitless Changed EverythingAt first, Joey was skeptical (like most of our members) —he had already tried so much without success.But within just a few weeks, he started feeling a difference.And in a few months, he was completely pain-free for the first time in over a decade. Now, he's:✅ Back to playing golf after 14 YEARS away from the sport✅ Running his landscaping business PAIN-FREE✅ Waking up without thinking about his back pain✅ Living life without fear of flare-upsJoey is proof that you CAN heal—even with multiple herniations and decades of pain.

Robyn describes her first birth as a ‘weird, numb experience.' She was in the hospital, on an epidural, and slept through most of it. However, a family car accident became a turning point for Robyn, prompting her to make holistic health changes for her family. As she began to explore ways to take charge of their healthcare more naturally, her perspective on birth shifted. By the time she was pregnant with her second child, she knew she would give birth at home, with a midwife. (In fact, the midwife she chose had been a former guest on this show!) For her third birth, Robyn chose to give birth at home, unassisted. In reflecting on her birth experiences, Robyn shared with me: ‘I want to address the idea that a midwife or doula will save you during labor or birth, or somehow prepare you better than you can prepare yourself for birth. Instead, birth should be viewed as an opportunity to fully surrender and trust yourself.'

Send us a textToday, we're joined by Ellen, a mum of two, who shares the story of her evolving birth journey. Her first experience was in the MGP program at her local hospital. After experiencing reduced fetal movement, Ellen was advised to have an induction. The induction led to complications: a fever, blood in her urine, and an accelerated heart rate for her baby, culminating in an unexpected caesarean. Ellen felt a deep sense of disappointment with her first birth experience.Determined to approach her second birth differently, Ellen took the time to educate herself, preparing for a more empowered experience. She chose a homebirth (HBAC) and found the difference to be profound. She was more present, more aware, and felt a deeper sense of control over her body and the process. Ellen reflects on how natural contractions were far more manageable than the synthetic ones from her induction. She also shares the intense afterbirth pains she experienced—pain so severe it caused her to vomit—but despite this, she felt an overwhelming sense of peace and empowerment.Ellen's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-advocacy, birth education, and trusting your instincts to shape the birth experience that's right for you.Links:The Great Birth Rebellion - Episode 86 - Internal Release Work with Fiona Hallinan.Birth After Caesarean - Hazel Keedle Mothers & Babies Report 2022Maternal and perinatal outcomes by planned place of birth in Australia 2000-2012: a linked population data study. Perineal Bundles - The Great Birth Rebellion Perineal bungles - The Midwifes' CauldronPerineal ‘Bundles' and Midwifery - Midwife Thinking - Dr Rachel ReedSupport the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

Send us a textIn today's episode, we have the privilege of speaking with Jessie, a seasoned Doula based in Karratha, Western Australia. Jessie generously shares the profound wisdom she gained from her four unique birth experiences—three in hospital and one empowering free birth with her fourth child. Reflecting on her first journey into motherhood, she discusses how the prevailing narrative around birth was one of pain and fear, which led to unexpected interventions. Through her work supporting other women as a doula, Jessie came to understand that women already possess everything they need within themselves to bring their babies into the world. She takes us through her personal evolution, from hospital births to the decision to have a free birth. Jessie also opens up about D-MER (Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex), a condition where some breastfeeding women experience negative emotions just before milk let-down, during breastfeeding, expressing, or even when not nursing.Links:Jessie the doulaJessie's Website Birth Without Fear - January HarsheDysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) - Australian Breastfeeding Association Midwives' Cauldron - Breastfeeding aversion, agitation, D-MERSupport the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

In part 2 , I'm taking you back to my waters breaking (again?!) on New Year's Eve, I was told to stay in the hospital bed, Pitocin was pushed at shift change, and—something I've never shared before—I was talked into fentanyl (spoiler: there's a good learning point here). Add in a cervical lip being manually pushed back, and coached pushing so intense I popped every blood vessel in my face... and it's the "perfect" no-epidural hospital birth. __ Have a better hospital birth, join us inside of Unmedicated Academy ⬇️ unmedicatedgirlies.com OR DM me "enroll" on Instagram

Our beloved in house pelvic floor physical therapist, Hayley Kava, shares how her first birth experience inspired her career path. Her journey began with a hospital birth that she found to be less than positive, leading her to seek a more empowering experience the next time. Her second birth, also in a hospital, turned out to be a much more positive and fulfilling experience, but left a little to be desired when it came to immediate postpartum care. Finally, her third birth took an unexpected turn—an unplanned unassisted home birth after a precipitous labor! Despite having a midwife, the baby arrived before they could get there.

AKA the ONLY thing unmedicated about it was that I didn't have an epidural. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my first birth experience and sharing the details of what I used to call an “unmedicated” birth. Spoiler alert: while I didn't have an epidural, my birth was still FULL of interventions. I'll also share how this birth taught me valuable lessons and set the stage for my journey into birth work. Whether you're planning your own birth or just love a good story, tune in to hear the truth about hospital births, interventions, and what I wish I'd known back then. _

Today Heidi interviewed Amy Lloyd. Here is a little more about Amy and this episode. In Amy's words: "I graduated nursing school in 2011 and started working in the NICU. I travel nursed and ended up in Denver, CO for 7 years. I mainly worked in the NICU but worked for Nurse Family Partnership for 4 years (an amazing nationwide program for 1st time moms that qualify based on income!)  I got married and moved to Asheville, NC in 2021. We got pregnant on the first try! I did the NIPT and found out we were having a boy! At my first appointment they mentioned I had a bicornuate uterus. Since hearing I had a higher rate of a breech baby I was pretty convinced he would be breech and I would have a scheduled c-section. “Normal” pregnancy. I felt really good. Worked night shift in the NICU until 39 weeks. I got COVID at 26 weeks pregnant. The recommendation then was to have a growth ultrasound. I had one at 34 weeks where they discovered the left side of his heart and aorta were small. I was referred to MFM in Asheville and then onto MFM and cardiology in Charlotte. I was induced at 39.2 at Atrium. I had a good induction…foley bulb, pitocin, epidural, AROM, pushed for 45 minutes. My baby immediately went to the NICU. His echo showed he had coarctation of the aorta and he had surgery at 3 days old! We were in the hospital for 2 weeks before coming home to Asheville. We experienced lots of feeding difficulties. He came home with a NG tube, had reflux, and a weak suck. I was basically exclusively pumping from the start. I weaned off the pump at 9.5 months postpartum. At 3 weeks postpartum I had severe abdominal pain leading me to be readmitted for IV antibiotics. They believe I had endometritis. My baby just turned 1 8/29/22. He is doing great and will continue to be followed by cardiology for life but hopefully should not need any further interventions!" 3 Key takeaways from the podcast that listeners will learn today: Flexibility Advocating for your family 3 Keywords that people would want to search when looking for content that you would provide in this episode: Congenital heart defect Epidural induction Exclusive pumping   Favorite baby product or new motherhood product? Boppy for baby. I usually buy my friends a nice pair of pajamas as everyone is usually focused on stuff for the baby! Summary of guest experience – Currently live in Asheville, NC. Graduated nursing school in 2011 and have worked in the NICU as a RN ever since. Also have my CLC. Please link your contact information for me to share in the episode.

On today's episode I am sitting down solo to share the candid details of my birth story of my beautiful daughter Amelia! I wanted to share my birth story alongside some details of my early days postpartum because when I was about to go through this experience, it was so hard to find podcast episodes and information like this of women who had hospital births, opted for an epidural and also an induction. And because I had a positive experience, I wanted to share exactly what it was like with you! This is a very special episode as I recount the raw emotions starting at 39 weeks pregnant leading up to Amelia's delivery, what I've learned about motherhood thus far and the unexpected things I've learned during this incredibly transformative time. I hope my story resonates and sheds light on the diverse and extraordinary experience of childbirth.
