Middee | Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Education
In today's episode our host Mon speaks with Mum of four & Midwife, Lauren Brenton. Lauren's journey into motherhood began when she was just 19. For Lauren, being pregnant at a young age also came with the fear of being judged by others for being a 'teen Mum'. When it came to attending birthing classes Lauren couldn't face the potential judgement she would receive & rather chose not to attend. Lauren reflects on this experience & how having such little knowledge at the time allowed her to be pushed through the medical system. This journey sparked her desire to become a midwife & since then Lauren has broken down the stereotype of a 'teen Mum' going on to run a very successful Midwifery page & creating a hospital policy on Maternal Assisted Caesarean's. Lauren touches on her other experiences including her own maternal assisted caesarean & how having knowledge is power in advocating for the birth you desire.
