Hey gals! I am back with another episode sharing my experience in pregnancy so far! I was meant to document my pre-conception preparation journey but after finding out I was pregnant, I will now be sharing everything I am doing including the model of care I've chosen, professionals I'll be seeing and how I have been feeling (physically and emotionally) in this first trimester!
This was recorded a couple of weeks ago in my 8th week of pregnancy. I cannot wait to share with you the changes I will experience as I head into the second trimester.
Connect with my on Instagram here where I will be answering more FAQs about my pregnancy and birth.
I have a few classes left before I go on leave early 2023 so to find dates that suit you, head to my website
Thank you for listening and I will be bringing you a cracker of a birth story next week.
Love,
Tina

Welcome back my loves! Today I am joined by Ebony who is a teacher and mama from Sydney. Ebony will be sharing her birth story with us today to hopefully help spread the message that not ALL posterior births end in intervention- sometimes it is the best position for baby. She talks all about the techniques and tips that got her through as well as sharing her experience with a newborn with tongue tie and CMPI (cow milk protein intolerance).
You can find out more about Ebony here as she shares her journey with CMPI.

Hey gals, I have another awesome birth story for you!
Dani Reed is a naturopath and mum to her little girl Luca. She has a passion for women's health education, especially in the pre and post-partum period.
Dani tells us all about her pre-conception preparation, what she did in her pregnancy to prepare her mind and body for birth and choosing the right model of care for her. She talks about her marathon 3 day labour and what happened when she made the decision to transfer to hospital.
We went over time chatting about her birth so we didn't have as much time to chat about her c-section recovery. I would love to cover more of this on Instagram so if you have any questions, send me a DM on Instagram and we can include more information for you!

Whether you are planning on having a baby soon OR you just found out you're pregnant, this is one episode you need to listen to!
It can be super overwhelming hearing different peoples' opinions and choosing which way to go- so I have broken it down for ya! This episode goes through
- Health care professionals you can see in pre-conception/early pregnancy
- Different models of care including: Private Obstetrician (private and public hospital options), Midwifery group practice/caseload, public antenatal clinic, shared care with GP, home birth with private practising midwives as well as the option of having doula support.

Today we are sharing Alanna's hypnobirthing stories!
Alanna had two very different but very positive birth stories. After a great birth in the private hospital system with a supportive midwife, Alanna decided to change her model of care to the Bloom model (midwifery led in a private hospital). However with tightening restrictions, she ended up choosing to home birth. Alanna shares how she came to this decision and how her unexpected super quick labour went!
