Ep58: Jade, Frankie & Boston - Young Mum, Induction, Unexpectedly large baby, Episiotomy & Forcep Delivery, Post Natal Anxiety, Obstetrician Care

In episode 58 of Kiwi Birth Tales I speak with Jade Weston about her two births of Frankie and Boston. Jade had a cyst on her ovaries before falling pregnant which meant she didn't have regular periods, Jade found out she was pregnant with Frankie and had a great pregnancy experience under Midwifery care. Jade ended up going 16 days overdue and was induced, she gave birth to a very healthy Frankie who was 10.1lbs via episiotomy and forcep delivery. 

Jade takes us through adjusting to life as a new young Mum, her experience with post natal anxiety at around 3 months and how she found her support system through social media. 

Jade then discusses her second pregnancy in which she decided to go through the care of an Obstetrician, with a planned induction at 38 weeks Jade gave birth to Boston who needed to spend a short time in the NICU due to his fast decent through the birth canal. Jade then talks about her experience with 2 young children, becoming a single Mum and all the things she has done to feel supported through out that time. 

Jade is lovely and has some great experiences to share so I'm grateful to her for joining me on the podcast this week. If you'd like to chat with Jade about anything in her episode she is happy for you to reach out @_jadeweston
