birth, baby & becoming - the psychological side of birth

Please take care while listening to this episode. Especially if you have experienced pregnancy loss, infertility or if you are currently experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, as the content in this episode may be triggering.

To our Psychology sista's and mista's, welcome to episode 3 “Birth, baby and becoming - understanding the psychological side of birth”, we want to acknowledge that it is a privilege to carry and birth a healthy baby.
We acknowledge our own bias's, privilege, and agency in the disclosures we share during this episode.

Kat share's from her own experience on the following:
- What was the most important thing for you during birth?
- What do you wish you knew that you know now?
- What would I go back and tell myself?  

We go explore the many complex psychological processes around birth such as:
Fear!!!
The conflict of birth being natural but feels like a crisis 
Pressure to do birth "right" e.g. natural 
Identity and parts of yourself you are meeting


We hope you love this episode!
