About The B.R.A.I.N Tool Podcast

Decisions are going to have to be made for your birth, let them be by you. I am so passionate about informed decision making when it comes to women making choices about their births. However, there isn't always enough time to gather all the information or enough information given. This podcast aims to bridge that gap, it aims to take a deep dive into all the things that may come up for you in your pregnancy and gives you the information to decide for yourself, what you want to do with your own body in your own birth......exactly the way it should be.

Ep 28 Choosing a CSection

Hey Everyone In this Episode we discuss the rising rates of c section in the UK and why more women than ever are having one. We discuss the fact that c sections have been totally normalised in our society and they are actually very often played down to women making their birth choices. We talk about the benefits and risks of having a c section, including the impact on yours and your baby's long term health.

Ep 26. Is having a doctor for birth safer?

Hello gang, Welcome back, hope you enjoy this episode  where we explore the differences between midwife-led care and obstetric-led care during pregnancy and birth. As always I analyse your birth options for you using the B.R.A.I.N. Tool, helping you make informed, evidence-based decisions about your own care. There's also a special mention on continuity of care/carer, and why it could be the small change with a big positive impact for your birth. What Is Covered 🟢 Midwife-Led Care *  For low-risk but what happens if you're high-risk *  Lower rates of medical interventions *  Higher likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth 🔵 Obstetric-Led Care *  When this is the right choice *  How it changes your birth outcomes *  What interventions it may lead to We apply the B.R.A.I.N framework to both models: * Benefits * Risks * Alternatives * Intuition * Nothing Evidence As always what I talk about is backed by evidence here's the research I mention In the podcast. https://www.cochrane.org/evidence/CD004667_are-midwife-continuity-care-models-versus-other-models-care-childbearing-women-better-women-and?utm_source=chatgpt.com [https://www.cochrane.org/evidence/CD004667_are-midwife-continuity-care-models-versus-other-models-care-childbearing-women-better-women-and?utm_source=chatgpt.com] Things to Takeaway *  There is no one-size-fits-all model, idividualise it to your needs * Midwife-led continuity of care offers significant benefits for less intervention * Obstetric-led care is there for where intervention is needed/wanted. 💬 Questions to Reflect On *  What matters most to you in your birth experience?  *  How do you feel about medical intervention vs physiological birth?  *  Would continuity of care change how supported you feel?  Resources If you're looking to work with me click below https://www.thismumhypnobirthing.com/ [https://www.thismumhypnobirthing.com/] If you found this episode helpful, please follow the podcast, or rate it, or share it with someone preparing for birth.

Ep 25. To VBAC or not to VBAC?

Welcome back everyone to The B.R.A.I.N. Tool podcast your pregnancy and birth decision making podcast.  This episode is focused on whether or not to have a VBAC (vaginal birth after c section) or to opt for a repeat c section. We talk all about the biological need some women have to experience a physiological birth and how some women feel the need to opt for a c section to gain control over their birth. We discuss risks and benefits of both in detail talking both long term and short term. With 45% of women in the UK having c sections now, this is an important discussion to have. I hope you enjoy the episode, take care everyone.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
