Episode description

I'm often asked why we had a home birth first time around. Wasn't I scared something would go wrong? 

Truth is, I was much more fearful about having to give birth in a hospital. I immersed myself in research over the years as a Naturopath and took note of patients who described their births as a (challenging) but an empowering and beautiful experience. I was confident we were making an informed decision that was right for us.

When it comes to pregnancy and birthing decisions, that is what I encourage patients and Path To Glowing Mumma members to do. Gather all of the information, take in both sides of any argument and make a decision with what resonates for you and your partner.

 To help you explore the decisions and possible challenges you may be faced with in the lead-up to birth, and learn facts and stats that your current health care provider may not be sharing with you, I have invited Adelaide based Chiropractor, Doula & Childbirth educator, Amanda Chow for a chat on the podcast.

In todays podcast episode Amanda explores:

> Supporting your body physically during pregnancy and leading into birth

> Busting myths around the dangers if a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) 

> An important chat around 'big babies'

> Birthing tools and exercises to help your experience

> Positive advice for you as you approach birth.
