057 - Alice | 2 babies, MLU, waterbirth, meconium aspiration, prolapse, continuity of care, homebirth, breastfeeding

Update: 2025-03-20

Description

In today’s episode we’re hearing from Alice about her two births; the first in the birth centre, the second at home.

Her eldest daughter Izra, who was born in the pool on the MLU, needed some special care after the birth due to meconium aspiration and Alice shares her experience of having a prolapse soon after the baby arrived.

When she fell pregnant again, despite her husband not supporting her choice, she planned to have her second baby at home. This is such a brilliant birth story as Alice ended up doing a park run in early labour on Christmas Day, birthing her baby at home whilst her family were visiting and still managing to squeeze in a festive roast before bedtime.
