#21 Dr Kara Thompson: Birth plans not going to plan, a Mother's mental health and how she connects with women on a Motherly level as an Obstetrician
Description
In today's Ep, Demi sat down with not only her Obstetrician but local business owner of Berth: Exert Pregnancy & Birth Care where they dive into the pressure Mums put on themselves with birth plans and feeding journey's and the mental toll it has on them postpartum.
We learn more about Kara and her pregnancy journeys with her 3 girls going through IVF to begin with and then falling pregnant naturally with her 3rd and the connections Kara makes with her clients when they're going through certain situations that Kara herself has been through.
We also dive into the pressures around breastfeeding and failing to do so and what Kara see's when Mums arrive at their 6 week check ups. A very interesting and enjoyable chat!
