Description
Third-time mum Emma joins me to share her honest, inspiring story of birth, recovery, and returning to the sport she loves. From induction and epidural challenges to tackling breastfeeding pain and setting her sights on the Berlin Marathon, Emma’s journey is one many mums will relate to.
In this episode we cover:
- Emma’s experience of three inductions and how her third birth unfolded
- What happened when her epidural only worked on one side
- How she managed the transition and quick five-minute push
- The early struggles of breastfeeding and the turning point with a GP–Lactation Consultant
- Differences in postnatal recovery between her first, second, and third births
- Why she prioritised a pelvic floor assessment before returning to running
- How the FitNest Mama return-to-running program helped her rebuild safely
- Emma’s advice to her younger, first-time-mum self
