#7 Ready To Pop: Preparing for Labour with Midwife Aine Hennessey

Hello and welcome to episode 7 of ready to pop with me Caroline Foran. This episode is maybe what we'd consider the big one: we're preparing for labour. We're wondering what the hell we're in store for, what all of the variables could be, how we might prepare. I was definitely a lot more anxious about giving birth before I recorded this episode and a lot more relaxed about it aftewrads. I'm joined here by midwife Aine Hennessey - the loveliest woman who you would be so lucky to have by your side during labour - you may know her on instagram as @midwife_aine and she is my expert for this episode to guide us through our upcoming labour experience. How do home births differ to hospital births? What pain relief is avaiable to us? Will we poop ourselves? What happens before during and after labour? What signs to act upon? What contractions feel like? What's involved in an episiotomy? What not to worry about and so much more. I really hope you find this episode helpful. I certainly did. Hosted on Acast.
