Summary
Jordan birthed her daughter Hali in the water at the birth centre of the Royal Hospital for Women, supported by her MGP midwife, after just three hours and forty minutes of active labour. She talks about managing symphysis pubis dysfunction throughout pregnancy, using a TENS machine at home, labouring on all fours in her lounge room, and how preparation through the podcast, books and birth course helped her go into labour feeling genuinely open and ready for whatever unfolded. "I still can't believe I did an unmedicated water birth. But it was the most euphoric thing ever." If you've just listened to Jordan's story and thought, I want to feel that way too, I would love to support you inside The Birth Class .
