Maddy openly talks about birth trauma after her first baby, a fourth degree tear, making the decision to have another child, having a new healthcare team, and being empowered to have a beautiful, healing birth - all while having type 1. </p><p>For support related to birth trauma, please reach out to the <a href='https://www.birthtrauma.org.au/'>Australasian Birth Trauma Association.</a><br/><br/>In this episode, Maddy discussed a support group for fourth degree tears.
