This week's episode is about something messy, smelly but OH SO AMAZING!! Yes, we talk about pooping during labour & the birth of your baby. This is another "common fear" that many mothers face as they prepare for their baby’s birth.
"What if I accidentally make a mess all over the bed & my baby?"
"What will the doctors think?"
"Who will clean it?"
"How embarrassing!"
If any of these thoughts crossed your mind, I’ve got some good news for you (as always!) Pooping during birth is in fact a very clever mechanism. Perfectly designed this way by nature for a VERY GOOD reason.
My guest on this week’s episode is Toni Harman. Last week she explained to us everything we need to know about the infant microbiome, and this week she’s back with more great research and content.
If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode yet, be sure to do so!
In this episode we cover:
· Intro & Welcome.
· Briefly explain what the infant microbiome is (we explained this in detail in the previous episode.)
· Few mothers have courage to ask about this… The fear of pooping during the birth of your baby. Please help all our mothers understand that this is in fact nothing to be embarrassed about, but rather something to welcome. It is not only normal to happen, but really important as well.
· Why no one else in your birth room will mind you pooping during birth.
