Lena explains her experience with a long labour ending in complications that needed intervention to help bring Lukas into the world, she was too far progressed for a CSection. <br/><br/>Lena discusses how needing stitches was her worst fear with childbirth and as this ended up happening she needed extra support from her Midwife and aftercare team, that she didn&apos;t receive. Lena talks us through what she now knows was not a normal experience in recovery and what she would advocate for in a second pregnancy and birth experience. <br/><br/>Lena finishes our chat with what has helped her the most in dealing with the trauma associated with her birth - seeing a counsellor who specialises in birth and it&apos;s a positive outcome at the end of a long journey. <br/><br/>Thanks again for joining me on the podcast Lena. </p><p>Thanks for listening!<br/><br/>@Kiwibirthtales<br/>@Yourbirthproject<br/><br/></p>","author_name":"Jordyn Kayes"}
