605 | Bettina- Three births across two countries: UK NHS care, Australian private care, and choosing caesarean birth
About this episode
Bettina shares her diverse birth experiences across the UK and Australia, highlighting the importance of informed choices and support.
Bettina has experienced birth across two countries and healthcare systems. She had her first baby in London during COVID-19, navigating the NHS as an Australian expat, before returning to Australia for two more very different births - including choosing an elective caesarean with her third. Her story covers postpartum depression, prolapse management, and learning to advocate for her birth choices. What's so valuable about Bettina's experience is how she shows that each birth can be completely different, and that positive outcomes come from feeling informed and supported in your decisions.
