Katie 2 Births, Endometriosis, Inductions, Third-Degree Tear & Finding the Right Care Provider

Katie takes us through her two contrasting birth experiences in Brisbane. After struggling with undiagnosed endometriosis for over a decade, Katie's journey to motherhood began with conception on just the second cycle. Her first birth at 41+4 weeks resulted in a rapid, intense labour following induction, culminating in a forceps delivery and third-degree tear that she wasn't fully informed about at the time. 

Three years later, armed with better knowledge and a different care provider, Katie's second birth was the drug-free, empowering experience she'd always hoped for. She shares invaluable insights about advocating for yourself, the importance of informed consent, and how the right care provider can transform your birth experience. This episode is essential listening for anyone preparing for birth, particularly those with endometriosis or previous birth trauma.
