    Achieving your dream birth after birth trauma With Megan Murray Experiencing a traumatic or difficult birth can have lasting effects, not only in the immediate postpartum period but well into the future. The thought of another pregnancy or birth can then bring up a whole new wave of emotions and reflections. This week I am joined by an incredible, fellow double boy mum, Megan. Not only have I had the pleasure of navigating the 1-2 transition alongside Megan over the last year but also supporting her in YPJ (Your Pregnancy and Postnatal Journey too. Megans first birth was a traumatic experience leaving her to feel like she had to have a planned c-section with her second, except deep down she didn’t want to make a decision based on fear and chose empowerment instead and that is where we came in and Megans strength and determination shone through. Today I have the privilege of talking to Megan as she shares her story to help others navigate birth fear.

    Achieving your dream birth after birth trauma With Laura Moon When you have experienced a traumatic or difficult birth it can impact so much that follows, not just in the immediate postpartum but beyond that too and then the prospect of a future pregnancy and birth can raise a heap of new thoughts and feelings. This week I am joined by an incredible mum of two little girls, Laura. Laura is hugely inspirational and the journey she has been on is one I am really looking forward to sharing. When I met Laura she was in her first trimester battling Hyperemesis and impacted by the aftermath of her first birth experience that was really traumatic. I am beyond delighted that Laura’s second birth was the birth she describes as her dream birth and she has kindly come on the podcast to talk about her journey which we hope will inspire and reassure other parents navigating pregnancy after birth trauma too.
