Middee | Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Education
Happy Easter to all my amazing Middee Listeners! I'd love your support to help this podcast grow - If you could spare 30 seconds to rate or leave a review of this podcast it will help me continue to support other parents out there :)
In today’s episode I speak with Mum & Dad, Beth & Corey about their rollercoaster journey into parenthood. After a quick conception journey Beth found herself reading, listening and researching everything & anything she could to prepare for labour + birth. Beth & Corey talk us through some of the challenges that came with their pregnancy journey including a high risk scan for down syndrome at 12 weeks and discussions about postdates induction & the mental burden this placed on them. After going into spontaneous labour Beth shares with us her positive birthing experience where Corey discusses some of the challenges that come with being a support person. Although they thought they had prepared for postpartum it wasn’t until they settled in at home that some of the real struggles of becoming new parents started to show which took a real physical and mental toll on both of them. From sleep deprivation, postpartum anxiety & adjusting to parenthood Beth & Corey highlight some of the challenges that many new parents face. Please welcome Beth & Corey.
