The Ultimate Birth Partner Podcast - Transcripts

In this week's episode, I am chatting with Jennie Harrison about the energetics of birth from the baby's perspective. 

It is important for us to acknowledge how a baby can be affected by the feelings their mother has during pregnancy, and also how they are impacted by the birth experience overall. 

It also helps to understand how we carry trauma in our DNA through the generations, which is scientifically proven. 

Knowing how energetics play out in the postnatal period and throughout our life in general and then into our own pregnancy, birth, and parenthood journey will help us to move forward and support our children in a positive way.

In this week's episode, I am chatting with Dr. Jenna Brough about the importance of setting boundaries for your birth. 

Jenna explains what boundaries are, and why they are essential for your pregnancy preparation. We also discuss why it is so easy to struggle with asserting ourselves in labour, and how we often feel the need to please our care providers and put their wishes over our own. 

This is such an insightful episode that will help you to understand why boundaries are important not only for birth, but parenting, and life in general.

In this week's episode, I am delighted to be chatting with Betty from The Birth Partner Academy. We get into a wonderful conversation about how Betty became interested in offering support to birth partners and what we both feel birth partners need to know and why. 

This episode is jam-packed with tips and solutions to help you understand more about the birth partner role, how to ensure that you choose the right birth partner for you, and what your birth partner needs to know about the role they play.

In this week's episode, Claire Fulton and I are discussing Hypnobirthing. Claire, from the Nurture Nest, hosts a popular Hypnobirthing Podcast where she shares tips, and positive birth stories as well as speaking to occasional guests who share knowledge and information on how to have a positive birth experience. 

I was excited to chat to Claire about this topic, as it is a really useful tool for not only pregnancy but for life too.

In this episode, I am chatting with award-winning chiropractor and doula Dr Elliot Berlin about his role in supporting women through a healthy conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Dr. Berlin shares his wisdom and offers tips and information to support you in achieving the same.  

We chat about his journey to becoming a chiropractor and how he came to specialise in pregnancy. His own personal journey of conception led to an understanding of how important it is to ensure that both your body and mind are healthy in order to conceive a child, otherwise the body will be trying to prioritise other elements. 

Dr Berlin soon realised that information shared with pregnant women was limited and set up the Informed Pregnancy Podcast. He also made two incredible movies to help women who were planning to give birth after a previous c-section, and anyone who might want to give birth vaginally when their baby was in the breech position. 

More recently Dr Berlin and his team at Berlin Wellness have set up the Informed Pregnancy Plus channel, so you can access films and documentaries about your options for birth easily.

Part Two - In this week's episode, I am chatting again with radical birth keeper Felicity - about the state of the NHS.  She has very kindly agreed to answer my questions on a wide variety of different topics that I have been desperate to talk about for so long, but unable to find someone willing to agree and open up. Felicity also brings questions from her own audience on relative subjects. This is a critical conversation - and one that I hope you will share. 
 
We discuss all of the following:-

Policies and protocols 
Vaginal examinations
Induction of labour 
Giving birth on a midwife-led unit 
Perineal care bundles (OSAI)
Blood thinners 
and much more...
