Lisa’s story of Jake (and bits of Rhys, Jessica, Chloe and Leo) coming into the world

This week I'm talking to Lisa about her water Birth.

Lisa is a nurse, midwife and she now teaches. She has 5 kids ranging from the ages of 5-19. She is also my cousin and has been a great source of info since my motherhood journey began. I had also hoped she would deliver my children but I went and moved to Canada. Her support in difficult times made a huge impact- I really needed a medical professional to tell me what was going to happened to me and my baby and she walked me through everything. Thank you Lisa you don’t know what a difference it made.

With 5 children we could dedicate a whole series to Lisa. But he decided to talk about Jake coming #intotheworld. Her 3rd birth and her second son. Lisa tells me how her experiences influenced her to become a midwife and we talk about why no one cares if you poo during child birth -

among many other things.

Lisa says-

Thank you so much for having me take part, I hope you enjoy listening to my birth experience, mainly about Jake, as we would need the whole podcast series to discuss all my birth stories!

I am so very lucky to have birthed 5 amazing children, all amazing experiences and all healthy. With all of my births I received some form of intervention and I feel with Jake, despite this I still managed to have such an amazing experience that felt like the most natural process in the world! “

Thank you Lisa, the women who have you as a midwife are incredibly lucky.
