Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 2 episode 14, ok strap yourself in cause this is a very personal episode talking about how I journeyed through the f*ckery of some very bad postpartum mental health. This isn't medical advice or information about things to look out, it's very much just a chat about what I went through and how I navigated it and how it feels to be out of the other side, some of it might resonate or you might just find it interesting but it definitely won't be for everyone and that's OK. Go easy if you think it may be triggering of your experiences too, sending love to everyone who has suffered with a period of bad mental health after having a baby. 💜
Again, sorry for the low quality audio, keep your fingers crossed my laptop is fixed in time for next week's episode!

In this episode I'm discussing the recently released NHS maternity statistics 2022-23 and whilst they seem pretty bleak on the surface, this is crucial information if you're planing on giving birth within the system. I discuss my top tips for navigating this and end with a pep talk!
