TW: Traumatic birth, TTC journey, stillbirth.

About Your Body is a podcast about real bodies, real people and real stories.

Hey everyone! Welcome to another episode of The About Your Body Podcast. This week I sat down with Imogene Huthnance, a very dear and old friend of mine who, since becoming a mum, has become an advocate for prior informed consent and for supporting new parents.

Listen in to hear Imogene and I have an in-depth chat about:

• Imogene's conception and birth story
  
• The realities of birth and labour
  
• Having a baby during the peak of COVID-19, including an undiagnosed breach baby and whether a lack of face-to-face midwife appointments contributed to that
  
• Lack of pregnancy care during COVID
  
• Taking care of yourself through and after birth
  
• Judgement on new and young mums
  
• Mum guilt and living up to expectations

and so much more!

Thank you all for listening! Love to you all!

This podcast was recorded on the land of the Gadigal people. Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

About Your Body was created as an initiative that stands for the rights of all people, including: everybody who identifies as a woman, everybody who has or has had bio-female bodily characteristics, as well as intersex people, gender-non-conforming people and Indigenous sister-girls and brother-boys.
