On this week’s episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jessica Tabaka. She shares her journey through her two births, the most recent occurring in April of 2020 (aka, the height of Covid-19 lockdown.) She walks us through unexplained fertility and falling pregnant with her first son. She chose to go via NHS midwife-led care in SE London for her care in her first birth. She talks candidly about her experience with postnatal anxiety and breastfeeding journey. For her second birth, she opted for a home birth. However, COVID-19 was ramping up and during her pregnancy, homebirths were being cancelled as there weren’t guaranteed ambulances in the event of transport. She gave birth in April 2020 to her second at the height of lockdown at a different SE hospital and shares how helpful Mammary Constriction Massage proved in her second time breastfeeding.
