Introducing: Belle Gibson

Jules Robinson tells her incredible birth story with Carter. After doing everything ‘right’ in pregnancy, Carter had his own plans and entered the world in an exhausting and dramatic fashion! Jules details how she worked to stay in tune with her own body during a challenging labour and post-partum period, and shares her struggles with pre-eclampsia. Dr Golly explains this condition and what you can do to avoid it. 

Diary Of A Birth features mums telling their miraculous stories of bringing life into the world, and we have all medical questions and concerns cleared up by one of Australia’s favourite paediatricians, Dr Golly.

If you’d like to share your birth story, we’d love to hear from you at podcast@mamamia.com.au or send us a voice note here.

This birth story involves a cervix that just wouldn’t dilate, an epidural that didn’t quite do its job, and a baby delivered with forceps. But it turned out to be an incredibly positive experience for the mum, Diary Of A Birth’s host Ksenija Lukich. Ksenija shares her own touching story of birthing Mimi.
