  • Summary

  • Join us for a compelling episode of the Baby Tribe podcast as we welcome the incredible Stefanie Preissner, host of the "Basically" podcast, alongside my wonderful wife, Anne Doherty. We open up about the joys and quirks of being married to someone from Mayo, Ireland, and Stefanie courageously shares her intimate journey through miscarriages and c-sections. Her story is a powerful testament to resilience and the often unspoken challenges many parents face. Stefanie's raw recounting of the anxiety and isolation during subsequent pregnancies, compounded by COVID-19 restrictions and her unique experience with an anterior placenta and interoception issues related to autism, offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of parenthood. From understanding the importance of monitoring reduced fetal movement to the visceral experience of a membrane sweep, we discuss the essential medical aspects with empathy and honesty. We then shift gears to talk about the unpredictability of childbirth and the diverse choices parents face. From humorous tales of labour during the Queen's funeral to the beauty of hypnobirths and the importance of respecting individual birth preferences, our discussion is both light-hearted and profound. We touch on early parenting challenges, the balance of technology in children's lives, and the silent grief of pregnancy loss, emphasizing the need for compassionate acknowledgment in healthcare. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the multifaceted journey of parenthood, blending humour with raw truths and deep insights. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
