Description

Episode 68 is shared by Genna who lives on Wurunderji land. After Genna’s IVF journey, she chose to have a homebirth with her first baby, Freddie through the publicly funded homebirth program. She also shares how invaluable midwifery care was during her pregnancy, labour, birth and post partum experience, especially in the context of her significant prior mental health struggles including at the time undiagnosed ASD, and her ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, and then also  having previously had a psychotic episode. 

We also chat about how she factored in her mental health vulnerabilities into her journey and also the benefits of homebirth for those who are neurodivergent.
