Ep10 - Supporting Your Wellbeing: Jo's Guide to Maternity Care and Extra Support During Pregnancy
Description
In this episode, I’m joined by Jo, a Birth Coach from Harrogate Maternal Wellbeing, who specialises in supporting mums-to-be and new parents through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Jo discusses the recent government announcement regarding the national review into NHS maternity care, as well as the importance of hiring additional wellbeing support during pregnancy, birth, and postnatally to improve long-term health and overall childbirth experiences.
Jo emphasises how extra support - whether through coaching, emotional wellbeing practices, or physical health - can enhance the experience of motherhood and lead to better outcomes for both mum and baby. We talk about why relying solely on standard maternity care might not be enough and how additional support can be the key to a more positive and empowering journey through pregnancy and the postnatal period.
This episode is for any expecting or new mum who is looking to boost her experience, take charge of her health, and navigate maternity care with confidence. Jo offers a refreshing perspective on how you can take control of your wellbeing and make your pregnancy and birth journey a more positive one.
