Ep55: Matilda & Milo - Active Pregnancy, Calm Birth Course, Positive Homebirth, Post Baby Blues

In Episode 55 of Kiwi Birth Tales I speak with Matilda Green about the birth of her son Milo. Matilda takes us through her pregnancy journey where she was sick for 16 weeks and extremely exhausted, finally enjoying being pregnant in the third trimester. Matilda kept active during her pregnancy and takes us through what she was doing during this time. Matilda and Husband Art did a Calm Birth course and also practiced Hypnobirthing breathing techniques that Matilda credits her positive homebirth to. Matilda decided to have a Homebirth early on in her pregnancy and had a great support team around her to enable this. Matilda takes us through going into labour, giving birth at Home and the next few hours after birth. Matilda then discusses her experience with the post baby blues, breastfeeding challenges and adapting to her new life as a Mum. She speaks candidly about her experiences and I think there will be a lot of new Mums out there who can relate. I am so grateful to Matilda for joining me on the podcast and of course you can check her out on Instagram @matooles This episode is Sponsored by The Sleep Scout (@thesleepscout) owner Lucy Burns, a leading Child and Infant Sleep Consultant.
