EP216 Shauna, Two Pregnancies & Births, Induction (No epidural), Spontaneous Birth, Unmedicated Birth
About this episode
Shauna shares her experiences of two pregnancies and births, highlighting her journey through induction and unmedicated birth.
This week, I share my chat with Shauna who talks me through each of her birth stories. Shauna absolutely loved being pregnant and really thrived in the lead-up to welcoming her first baby. At 42 weeks pregnant, she was induced, and what followed were two long and intense days of labour. Shauna credits hypnobirthing with helping her stay grounded and focused throughout the experience. At 42 weeks + 2 days, she welcomed her little boy and felt incredibly proud to have achieved the birth she wanted, without the epidural she knew she didn’t want. Then, at six months postpartum, Shauna discovered she was pregnant again. This time around, she hoped for a homebirth, but unfortunately it wasn’t signed off, meaning she had to come to terms with birthing in hospital once more. When it was least expected, Shauna went into spontaneous labour and welcomed her second little boy in a beautiful, calm birth, surrounded by her husband and supportive midwives.
