Feeling a bit confused as an expecting or new parent? Each week we interview an expert to help you feel more prepared and empowered by providing a more holistic approach to pregnancy, childbirth and parenting in the early years. From natural birthing to dealing with stress and anxiety, raising emotionally secure kids to veganism and making sustainable changes, starting a business after kids and so much more. Hosted by Eisha Maskara Sheth, the founder of Masilo, this podcast brings you open and honest conversation as we #sharethejoy of parenthood, together.
In this episode, we learn about what goes into a birth plan and why it’s important for every expecting mom to have one—whether you want a natural birth or not! We talk to Elouise Lakshya, a prenatal yoga teacher and conscious birthing enthusiast, who's passionate about empowering expecting moms to trust their body and baby, and make informed decisions surrounding birth.
Hypnobirthing has gained momentum around the globe as a positive and empowering method of childbirth. We talk to hypnobirthing practioner and educator Melissa Genovesi about how being mentally, spiritually and physically prepared through relaxation techniques can help expecting moms overcome the fear of labour and childbirth, and allow them to trust their instinctive birthing capability rather than allow doctors and caregivers to decide for them.
What's a natural birth? Why are we so afraid of it? Will it hurt? What are my choices? This episode looks at the FAQs and current conversation around birth, breaking down different birth choices and their respective outcomes from water births, doulas and how birth affects breastfeeding, to guide expecting moms through their thinking and create a positive outlook for all of us. We hear from Dr. Ameet Dhurandar, gynaecologist specialising in natural and water births, Sanam Manchanda, certified doula and Effath Yasmin, lactation consultant and biodynamic craniosacral practioner.
Breastfeeding can be hard work and the advice we’ll often get is to not stress too much and switch to formula. Because happy moms are the best moms, right? But what if you’re a mom wanting to do the work and find a solution, and not a way out? Masilo founder, Eisha, shares her own experience as a first time mom struggling to breastfeed and the emotional rollercoaster it can be, how the right support can help get you back on track and being informed and educating yourself can help you take charge of your own breastfeeding journey.
