Rebecca's two hospital births

The Positive Births NZ podcast - A podcast by Helen Bartrom

Birth is "the most rewarding challenge you'll ever have" is what Rebecca expresses when thinking back to her two children's birth journeys. In her first pregnancy journey with Harvey she shares her experience with not being able to find the right midwife and then the feeling of having to fight the system (and saying no to induction) to get what she wanted.  She talks about how she felt hypnobirthing gave her the tools to use in any and every situation and how husband Glenn was reluctant to come to the course initially but now is the biggest advocate. Second birth to McKenzie was a smoother journey with a midwife more on the same page and could've easily been a home birth, with baby arriving just an hour after the made it to the hospital.
