Welcome back to the Post Party Project! 

In this week's episode, I chat with the lovely Gracen, who is the mother to Mackenzie and a partner Corey. Gracen talks us through her experience with pregnancy and birth. Gracen and her partner did IVF and ICSI to conceive Mackenzie and from there, an ultrasound picked up that she had a shortened cervix and that she had Vasa Previa - which is where blood vessels from the umbilical cord travel across the cervix and can be very dangerous. 

Gracen needed to have a long hospital stay while pregnant and speaks of how hard that was. She managed to reach 37 weeks pregnant before going through with a C-section birth. 

Gracen also speaks openly and honestly about her experience with postpartum and the need for putting boundaries in place.

GRACEN| IVF, ICSI, Vasa Previa, C Section at 37 weeks, the need for postpartum support & setting boundaries.

Helloooo lovely friends, it’s been a while between episodes but oh my gosh does it feel GOOD to be back recording. I just didn't have the capacity with moving house and setting up a recording space, we also didn’t have internet for about a month there.

BUT I was SO excited to get back behind the mic to record today's episode and chatting with people on here lights a fire in my belly. I have a few more episodes lined up and I’ll probably take a short break when I have this second little babe in mid-July, but also - maybe I won’t because I really love chatting with you all! We will see how we go anyway. 

On today's podcast I chat with the lovely Amy from Mamahood Wellbeing - she is over @mamahoodwellbeing on Instagram if you want to give her a follow & check out the epic work she does supporting mothers.

She is a Holistic Nutrition coach and a student Naturopath and in today's episode she shares her experience with birth and postpartum with her two boys who are 13 months apart.

We also speak about bedsharing - and a horrible situation Amy encountered in her years as a police officer, birth trauma and post-natal anxiety.

I’m so thankful for Amy’s openness, vulnerability, and honesty with our chat today that I hope it helps anyone who’s experienced a traumatic birth and/or post natal anxiety in their postpartum.  

I also want to say thank you to everyone who has continued to listen to the podcast while I’ve taken some time off recording and to support me over on my Instagram account. I’ve recently changed my account name, it’s now @aimeemaxwell_ but I am still sharing the same postpartum-related content, just with a splash more personal content too.

Hello, my beautiful lovely people. 

It feels so good to get back into your ears! I kept putting today's episode off - I feel a little cringy doing a solo episode but I hope you enjoy it. I really wanted to update you on where I've been and everything that's been happening over the last couple of months.

I chat about;
Moving in with the in-laws
Finding out I'm pregnant
Having to say goodbye to our dog :(
Our upcoming wedding, hens & bucks parties.
Our honeymoon in Cairns!
Buying our first home!

It's been a busy couple of months with nausea and living in between houses so I hope you enjoy this little life update.

Back to normal programming next week with some awesome guests!
