Erin's long labour and c-section to Nixon

Erin shares with us a planned homebirth that went 'sideways' and included a long labour, induction, epidural, baby not in a great position and eventually a c-section. We talk about what the positive aspects are, but we also talk about trauma, the interventions, keeping post partum depression at bay. If you're not feeling up to listening to an experience where the plans 'turned to custard' then this is not a story for you today. However, this is valuable if you'd like to hear Erin explain what she wished she'd known, what she learnt, her advice and how she processed all that she experienced - and how she came out feeling proud of her ability to deal with it all. Big thankyou to Erin for being open and vulnerable in sharing her challenging birth experience.
