Middee | Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Education
In today’s episode our Host Mon speaks with Hannah Bryans about her journey into becoming a Mum.
Hannah had always dreamt of becoming a Mum Ever since she started to learn more about conception and after a trip to bali with her highschool sweetheart, Hannah & her Husband found out they were pregnant at 24. Working as a Midwife herself, Hannah felt well prepared for labour & birth. After spontaneously going into labour Hannah was progressing well, but her contractions began to slow when her birthing environment was changed and the suggestion was to break her waters to encourage labour to progress.
This was the beginning of a cascade of interventions which ended up with an epidural, forcep delivery, episiotomy & a postpartum haemorrhage. Hannah explains her experience & the impact it had on her postpartum including the role that it still plays in her inability to work as a midwife in the birthing suite.
Hannah shares with us her second healing birth story where she birthed her baby surrounded by love and support in the bath.
Please welcome Hannah.
