Myth: Birthing as a performance
International dancer and choreographer, Leah and I cover pretty much everything a mother-to-be would have on her mind: From Emergency C-Section to the anxiety of your water breaking in public and surviving 48 hours of labour.And how/why she discovered the importance of: - pelvic floor therapy (a few accidents too late - but better late than never!), - the struggle of finding the correct physio to help her fix diastasis recti (yes, even people who exercise for a living can’t do it by themselves!),- the muscles loss and hyperflexibility (overdoing your asanas might not be a good idea!),- the post pregnancy hormone drop, - everlasting PMS- and bringing your newborns to work. We also take the time out to express our gratitude to our breasts, they are amazing. And there are some handy tips on how to breastfeed where and in which position depending on your size!These are Leah’s favourite resources:https://www.instagram.com/the.vagina.whispererhttps://www.instagram.com/thebellemethodhttps://www.birthingfromwithin.com/A general note: This podcast is based on personal experiences by mothers.
