Ep. 24. Emily's story- A healing second birth after a traumatic first birth and postpartum experience

Today we share the lovely Emily's story.

Emily had a perfect pregnancy, but when it came to the birth, it was far from what she imagined! Unfortunately, after labouring for many hours, she birthed her son via an emergency cesarean under a general anesthetic.

This led to her not meeting her son until hours after his birth which, in some way, affected the postpartum bonding and breastfeeding journey.

During the 4th trimester Emily struggled with the mental and physical load of becoming a mother and things started feeling a bit too much. This ultimately made her feel like she couldn't possibly have another baby and go through it all again.

But luckily, after getting the help and support she needed and deserved, she felt ready to do it all over again.

Her second birth was a much more positive and calm experience which in some way, was healing! The postpartum journey was completely different and she is so glad she got to experience how amazing having a baby can truly be!
