32 | Anna, Ted & Martha - Hospital Induction w/ Interventions & Using Birth Education and Hypnobirthing as a tool for a Better Second Birth Experience
In this episode Anna shares the birth of her two little ones, Ted and Martha, with us. Anna is a Hypnobirthing teacher based in East London and she shares her journey of becoming pregnant the first time and ‘going with the flow’ towards her first birth experience. She was induced at 40+1 and had an assisted birth and an episiotomy as well as experienced a postpartum haemorrhage. In between her two births she discovered Hypnobirthing and did a course which dramatically changed her view of birth and she was able to use the tools from the birth education for a more empowering experience the second time around.
Anna also shares her journey to becoming a certified Hypnobirthing teacher herself and we talk about the benefits of keeping yourself informed about your body and your choices so we can have a birth experience that’s not traumatizing.
Anna really recommends taking yourself through any kind of evidence based birth course to prepare you for labour, birth & postpartum and to set yourself up with breastfeeding support before giving birth, should you need it postpartum.
If you’d like to reach out to Anna or take an online/in person course with her you can find her on Instagram @hackneyhypnobirthing or you can send me an e-mail at the9monthspodcast@gmail.com.
