EP165 Nikki - One Pregnancy & Birth, Hospital Birth, PND & Anxiety
In this episode I share my chat with Nikki who talks me through her one pregnancy and the birth of her son. Nikki loved being pregnant but is also honest about her struggles with anxiety. She attended pregnancy yoga which was transformative as she used tools learned through her instructor (also teaches antenatal classes) throughout her birth. They formed a deep connection giving her that extra level of support.
Nikki revisits her son’s birth, the following hours and into the early days of motherhood. She describes feeling a shift in her mood which she was prepared for as she previously met with the mental heath team. Thankfully with the love and support of her family and therapist she navigated her way out of PND.
Thanks so much Nikki
