005 - Lily | physiological birth, MLU, doula, urinary retention, TENS, hypnobirthing, birth pool, placenta encapsulation

Update: 2023-09-28

Description

In today’s episode I’m chatting to Lily as she shares the story of Winnie’s birth. Lily loved being pregnant and used that time to learn as much as possible about birth. With the support of her amazing doula and husband, Lily laboured in the midwife lead unit where she enjoyed spending time in the birth pool. She required an in-out catheter due to urinary retention but other than that things progressed smoothly and she birthed her baby with just a small tear and a physiological third stage.

You can find out more about Lily and the work she does here.
