The BirthCircle | Birth, Pregnancy, & PostPartum Conversations
Health & Fitness
Today we talk to returning guest Bailey Gaddis, Author of Feng Shui Mommy, about her new book, Asking for a Pregnant Friend. Bailey is a certified Doula, Hypnotherapist, and founding member of the Ojai Valley Birth Collective, among many other accomplishments, and she uses her passion for both birth and writing to help make pregnancy and birth a comfortable and shame-free experience for everyone who reads her work.
We talk about Bailey's process in deciding to write her new book, and the way that shame around certain topics prevents pregnant women from getting all the information that they need. We discuss orgasmic birth as well as the culture of shame that forces a lot of us to separate sexuality from birth.
We discuss feelings of arousal or anger during breastfeeding and the feelings of shame that can arise from that and why the shame is not necessary. We discuss partner infidelity during pregnancy and the need for communication between to help allay fears about the partner straying. We talk about the causes of why a partner might not want sex as much after the baby arrives and the ways that couples can work through that with communication.
We talk about the disappointment some parents may experience when finding out the sex of their baby and how not to beat yourself up about it. We also discuss the feelings that can arise when a mother is pregnant with her second baby and how to ease the worry about not loving the second baby as much as the first.
Finally we talk about intrusive thoughts that a lot of women have about potentially hurting their baby or about scary situations that might arise. We discuss what might cause those and when it's a problem. We also discuss the fear of death during childbirth and how to navigate the fear of something that is very real and complex and when to seek help to deal with it. We talk about the bottom line of shame and how shame affects the journey into motherhood, and how learning to release and do away with that shame as a culture will help to make pregnancy, birth, and motherhood a more joyful experience on the whole.
