In the very last episode of season 3, I am chatting with one of my very special birth clients Emma, who had two very different experiences with each of her children.
Emma shares how she felt as a Muslim woman, having an unplanned c-section with her first baby, and then how she was clear that she wanted a natural birth next time around.
Despite being given a diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes, she strongly believes she didn't have it due to leading such a healthy lifestyle. Emma did a lot of research to fully understand GDM and was confident that the slightly high readings she got that tipped her over the threshold were more likely to be due to lack of sleep and stress. Even so, the label stuck and it affected the way she was treated in labour.
This episode highlights some serious issues within the maternity system, and offers so much information and support for others who are pregnant and planning to give birth in a hospital setting.
