In this episode of Ready Birth Go, Carly Sandland talks to nutritionist and bestselling author Madeleine Shaw about her two births, and the honest, messy, wonderful reality of becoming a mum twice over.
Her first birth was fast and unmedicated - ten hours, and she arrived at hospital already eight centimetres. Her second was a planned caesarean, and nothing about it went the way she'd pictured.
We talk about:
A breech, big baby, and deciding not to try to turn him
Why she never wrote a birth plan
How an early loss shaped everything that came after
What no one warns you about caesarean recovery
The love, and the fear, that arrive with a new baby
Quickfire: three words, and the worst advice she was given
Content note: this episode includes discussion of pregnancy loss and miscarriage.
