17. Dawn Knight - Two Positive but Very Different Births, Directing Collective Energy to Fully Recovering in PP, the Power of Mothers and Supporting Them, and Societal Ignorance to PP Reality
Om avsnittet
In today's episode, Dawn tells of the birth of her two boys and her experience thereafter. I share her outlook and philosophy on the power of what it means to be a woman and I love how she shares about how motherhood is everything. She goes into some detail of her two birth experiences -- one birth center turned hospital birth with an epidural, and the second a birth center birth that ended up being her dream birth. She has the most kind soul and I felt so inspired by talking with her. She was so prepared for postpartum and naturally possess maternal wisdom. I hope you enjoy her story as much as I did.
TOPICS SHE GOES INTO:
- "Observing" parenting style
- Preparing for PP via prenatal classes
- Realizing how sheltered we (society at large) are from true PP
- Surrendering to the end of pregnancy
- Prepared meals and snack basket
- The reality of needing support (people)
- Hospital + epidural with no tear
- Birth center with tearing and hemorrhage (dream birth)
- Benefits of larger babies
- Body shaking at the end of labor and in early PP
- Feeling the sense of a village in the hospital setting
- Making recovering form birth the #1 priority
- Making a point to shower every day
- Everything is a phase - don't miss it!
- Getting agency back
