Episode 31 with Ellesha from Euroa, experiencing a healing second birth/VBAC through becoming informed, hypnobirthing and self empowerment.
Description
Today’s episode is with Ellesha from Euroa in Victoria. She is a mum of two and in today’s episode shares her two quite different births and how she moved through her second pregnancy to create the empowering birth she wanted. Ellesha shares the wisdoms she has gained along her journey, the positive impact of hypnobirthing and some wonderful resources – that can be accessed online/through apps – that others can put into place/practice too to help them on their own birthing journey.
Her first son was born via caesarean after complications. This was a shock for Ellesha, as she was suddenly moving towards an earlier than expected arrival at 38 weeks.
This birth experience made Ellesha determined to realise her perfect birth for her second. This second birth was incredibly empowering. She was the first successful VBAC with her obstetrician at the hospital. Ellesha had spent a lot of time and delved deeply into knowledge as the source of power. She was informed and had a wonderful toolkit to draw upon to support her in labour. Ellesha is now supporting others to do the same.
When Ellesha first made contact she shared this statement:
“Don’t give up, just because your first or last birth wasn’t what you wanted it doesn’t mean you can’t have your perfect birth this time…
It’s your body, your birth, you’re in control”
