<p>In this episode we speak to Adelaide mum of two Rosalie about her two births. Rosalie underwent IVF and speaks about the unique challenges women in same sex relationships face when dealing with healthcare.  Her first birth was an emergency caesarean which followed an induction for having a macrocosmic baby and being post-dates. Rosalie was very well educated about birth and was planning a public hospital funded homebirth before she was &apos;risked out.&apos; She knew about the cascade of intervention yet she was coerced into a procedure that she did not want. This coercion was the catalyst for her birth trauma and PTSD. <br/><br/>In her next pregnancy Rosalie hired a private midwife and a doula to give herself the best chance of having a physiological birth at home...but once labour was underway she knew on an intuitive level that there would be a curveball right at the end. <br/><br/>Rosalie shares a wealth of knowledge about birth in this episode which is important listening for anyone who wants to give birth. A must listen for anyone working in maternity too, to understand the ways they can support mothers and prevent birth trauma from occurring to 1 in 3 women, and the 1 in 10 Australian women who are diagnosed with PTSD following their births. <br/><br/>Episode Sponsor: Miim Kids<br/><br/>Features of the small and lightweight Miim Kids sleep aid &amp; feeding light include:</p><ul><li>Portable for 12+ hours</li><li>White Noise (4 safe volume levels)</li><li>Pink Noise (4 safe volume levels)</li><li>Red LED light Therapy (4 brightness levels)</li><li>Wireless Bluetooth connection (play any music you like, straight from your phone)</li><li>White LED torch light (4 brightness levels)</li><li>30min, 60min, and continuous loop</li><li>Meditation &amp; Relaxation Sounds (4 volume levels)</li></ul><p>Learn more about Miim Kids through Instagram @miimkids or www.miimkids.com<br/><br/>Shop:<br/>15% discount code: VBAC15<br/>https://tinyurl.com/miimkids<br/><br/>~ AFFILIATES ~<br/><br/>Access discounts with our amazing affiliates:<br/><br/>Birth Time film:<br/>20% DISCOUNT CODE: CICADA20<br/>https://www.birthtime.world/a/2147503775/Eb2Kfvxt<br/><br/>Partum Panties:<br/>10% DISCOUNT CODE: Vbacbirthstories<br/>https://www.partumpanties.com.au<br/><br/>The Birth Store:<br/>10% DISCOUNT CODE: VBAC<br/>https://thebirthstore.com.au/?ref=VBAC<br/><br/>A big thank you to our patrons for helping to bring this episode to you.
