When I was pregnant I was aware of my heightened risk of PND, and cautious of things that might exacerbate that. When in labour I was advised to augment by pitocin (or the UK equivalent) to speed things up. I asked if there was any increased risk or potential knock on affect to my own hormones and was told there was none. I was convinced there would be - what action doesn't have a reaction? Information gives us so much - but it can be so hard to use it right. @nourishing_her #mentalhealthmatters #informedchoice #birthpartner #itallstartswithbirth #changetheworldonebirthatatime #developingdoulas #doulauk #mybirth #doula #kentdoulacollective (at Rochester, Medway) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzpgTI3gizu/?igshid=woi0kxzy78jo
