Imke's Harrowing Start to Motherhood, Then Healing Home Birth

In this episode of the Healing Birth with Carla podcast, Imke shares with us about her harrowing start to motherhood. Her traumatic birth experience was followed by an incredibly trying time postpartum, including severe mastitis, a breast abscess that required surgical drainage, an overwhelmed comment to her midwife that resulted in the police turning up at her door, and finally, some recognition that what she was experiencing was not normal and deserved some support and healing.

Imke’s next birth was a healing experience at home, with a Labrador and a trusting midwife at her side. We also hear about Imke’s work, including her women’s empowerment photography and a book that’s in the making that’s all about transmuting mum guilt into love. 

Included in this episode:

• coached pushing leading to a tear
• husband back working 2 days postpartum, family overseas
• severe mastitis
• breast abscess - surgical drainage
• severe postnatal depresssion
• home birth
