Giving Birth: From First Contraction To First Cuddle & Is Your Menstrual Cup Causing UTIs?
What are the stages of birth and what actually happens when you go into labour? We go to Med School to find out what a decidual cast is and what happens when it falls out of your uterus. And in our Quick Consult, could your menstrual cup be causing UTIs? In this episode, we talk to Obstetrician & Advanced Gynaecological Surgeon Dr Nargis Noori and Clinical Midwifery Specialist Betty Holland who discuss home versus hospital birth, vaginal versus caesarean and what happens if you have an induction. They also talk about pain relief, what’s involved in an episiotomy, breastfeeding and baby brain. Plus, how to advocate for yourself in the delivery room. And, what if your baby doesn’t get the memo about your birth plan?
