We go through an incredible process growing a baby. We then go through child birth and start the process of breastfeeding. I feel as if we are more or less sent on our merry way at our 6 week check up.\n.\nFor 9mths we\u2019re monitored so carefully then once the baby\u2019s out things flip. Suddenly all appointments are for the baby\u2019s health.\n.\nWe have changed bodies, changed roles. Many women have scare tissue, some have birth trauma, pelvic instability issues, and sometimes prolapses.\n.\nI say this not to scare new first time mums going into birth. I say it to acknowledge that far greater support is needed as we navigate this postpartum path.\n.\n\u201cIs it normal to have no sex drive?\u201d \u201cIs it normal to have pain months after childbirth?\u201d \u201cHow do I go from mother to lover?\u201d These are just some of the most common questions that have been raised.\n.\nSex after a baby is big for couples and I hope to open this discussion right up. I can\u2019t wait to unpack these topics and get this interview out to you guys.\n.\n?@annalainephotography","comments":"85","likes":"1399","media_url":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B1bDTc2gkpH","media_image_url":"https:\/\/scontent-ort2-1.cdninstagram.com\/vp\/fcdbf6626ef4a8b0bdf1a3ebfb52173c\/5DE0D46F\/t51.2885-15\/e35\/c0.180.1440.1440a\/s150x150\/67010425_731656897283686_5969748702393671010_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-1.cdninstagram.com","type":"IMAGE","mentions":["annalainephotography"],"hashtags":[],"date":"2019-08-21 13:23:11","last_check_date":"2019-08-21 13:23:11"},{"media_id":"2113848514361510075","instagram_user_id":"5017","shortcode":"B1V5gYvgUi7","created_date":"1566210401","caption":"Just moments after Rosie\u2019s arrival.\n. \nIn this week\u2019s episode Megan Gale shares her pregnancy and child birth experiences with both River and Rosie..\n.\nMegan\u2019s first labour started with contractions that were 5mins apart.

When Rachel saw the doctor they refused to give her an ultrasound instead they took her blood to check her HCG levels.\n.\nRachel flew back home to be with her partner unsure if she was losing the baby or not. Her partner called every ultrasound clinic he could to find and eventually booked them a last minute Saturday morning appointment.

The doctor said she had probably just had an implantation bleed.\n.\nAt no point over the previous 24hours had any one suggested implantation bleeding or the possibility that her pregnancy could still be ok.\n.\nYou can hear the rest of Rachel\u2019s pregnancy experience and birth in this week\u2019s episode.
