Taylors hospital birth to Isla
The Positive Births NZ podcast - A podcast by Helen Bartrom

Categories:
"I could do that all again tomorrow", was what Taylor commented on just after birthing Isla - she clearly felt the benefits of the wonderful hormones flowing through her! Before Taylor even got pregnant she had listened to and learnt a huge amount about birth, it was (and still is) a topic that she is passionate about and fascinates her. She was excited about giving birth. In this episode she provides great detail into her experience which involves finally getting pregnant, getting fed up with being pregnant (and pressure from others) after 40 weeks, how labour started, unfolded, how she felt and how she was prepared to keep her mind open about intervention along the way. She shares some valuable insights about her fast dilation from 5-10 cms, different positions, ideas about using gas, mothers intuition, boundaries, and what she plans do for her second baby’s arrival.
