Welcome to the latest episode of the NBC podcast! Today, I caught up with Nat Saunders, who you might remember from her first birth story (Ep 41). Back then, Nat shared her experience of a natural posterior birth, resonating deeply with countless mamas out there.

Now, nearly nine months later, Nat returns with her adorable nine-month-old, Winnie, in the background, ready to share the journey of her second pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. Expect the unexpected, as Nat's second experience proves to be remarkably different from her first – which is actually super common for second-time mamas!

In this episode, Nat delves into the three key changes she aimed for this time around: strengthening her pelvic floor, minimising pelvic girdle pain, and optimising her baby's position. Whether it was avoiding another posterior birth or ensuring a smoother labour process, Nat's insights and tips are invaluable for anyone embarking on their own pregnancy journey.

Now, I’m not about to spoil whether Nat achieved her ideal birth outcome or not - you'll have to tune in to find out! But trust me, Nat's wisdom, warmth, and wit make this episode an absolute must-listen. 

In this podcast we discuss:

• How to avoid pelvic girdle pain- particularly when you are susceptible to it
