In this episode we chat with Gabs about the birth of her first baby boy. Gabs is also a step mum so her and her husband weren't sure whether they would add to their family but as you'll here through the episode, despite a very rough pregnancy journey with hyperemesis and mental health Gabs absolutely loves being a mum. We really enjoyed chatting to Gabs about the ups and downs of her journey and she reminded us just how good we have it in NZ for maternal health care compared to the USA! We hope you enjoy this episode

Episode 13 - Brittney Guise - three home births, miscarriage, hypnobirthing, water birth, hyperemesis, postpartum depletion, three under 4
In this episode we chat with Brittney, farmers wife, mum of 3, garden lover, crafter and DIYer (she has a lot of hobbies!) about her three birth stories as well as her journey to falling pregnant and her experience of two miscarriages. Brittney suffered from hyperemesis particulary badly in her first full term pregnancy, as well as SPD which got worse each time - making running around after toddlers, while pregnant, quite the challenge! She really highlighted the importance of resting during labour and the impact this has on your birth experience and early postpartum. We really enjoyed chatting to Brittney, she is a big home birth fan as are we! We hope you enjoy her uplifting stories as much as we did.

Episode 11 - Kate | Little Bird Lactation - Hyperemesis, positive induction, hospital births, postpartum haemorrhage, spontaneous home birth,
In this episode we chat with Kate a NICU nurse and Lactation consultant from Little Bird Lactation, about her three very different birth stories. Kate unfortunately suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (severe vomiting/nausea) during all of her pregnancies so having a third baby was a big decision! Despite her pregnancies she had three positive births, one an accidental home birth and then a planned home birth turned induction. We had some technical difficulties with recording this episode so it does end suddenly sadly but we hope you enjoy listening to Kate's journey to complete her family.
