In this episode of the She Word Mums, we are diving into all things surrounding labour and birth and what really goes on in those delivery suites.

Host Nerissa Massa is joined by Maxine Attard for this week’s episode and they sit down with Catriona Grech, a midwife and mum of 2 and Jenny Orlando Spalling- mum of three.

They reminisce about their own birth experience and talk about how no one child is birthed the same, but how every child brings a sense of “newness” both a brand new human but also as a rebirth of the mother. They also agree how empowering going though labour is and how you discover inner strength.

Tears are shed, and laughter is shared amongst these four women who bond over an experience only a female can ever encounter.

Watch this episode if you’re preparing to give birth, supporting someone who is, been through it yourself or are just curious to know more about yourself the run up and build up of bringing a baby into the world.

It is an episode, which shares some raw truths but also joyful moments which are heartwarming to listen to.
