This week season's finale is a very special and super useful episode as I speak to the inspirational Megan Rossiter from Birth-ed.

Megan is one of the people I wish was active on insta when I was pregnant with my son in 2012. At the time I was bashing my head against a maternity service that I felt was viewing me a policy and not a person, and I found it oh so hard to find any nuance in the system. I wanted to take responsibility for my body, my baby and my birth but how to do it? I felt very alone.

I am so thrilled that organisations like https://birth-ed.co.uk/ now exist to try and help women find that nuance... by giving you confidence to ask questions, establish your rights, help you take control of your own birth experience and be reassured that are other people out there who believe that birth works.

So, if you haven't already then get over to https://www.instagram.com/birth_ed/ immediately! Megan has loads of free resources including a f.a.b.u.l.o.u.s podcast, and she also runs antenatal education courses online and in person in SW London / Surrey.

In her podcast episode Megan generously recounts her pregnancy journey with hyperemesis gravidarum, her introduction to hypnobirthing and where Birth-ed began, her homebirth plans and then how she retained control of her birth experience and ensured it remained a positive one when things didn't go according to plan A.

Honestly, the episode is gold. Thank you Megan.
