Pregnancy, Birth and Recovery: FitNest Mama
Birth Story with Noni [Pelvic girdle pain, Vaginal birth, TENS, Rediscovering motherhood]
In this beautiful and honest birth story, I’m joined by Noni, a midwife, sonographer, and FitNest Mama member, who shares her personal journey from pregnancy to birth and beyond.
Noni takes us through her vaginal birth, how she prepared mentally and physically, and how the TENS machine became a key tool for managing contractions during labour.
As a midwife herself, Noni brings a unique perspective to birth preparation, labour strategies, and the emotional and physical changes of postpartum recovery.
Whether you’re preparing for birth or simply love hearing real stories from other mums, this is an episode filled with wisdom, warmth, and practical advice.
What We Cover:
- Noni’s pregnancy journey — managing pelvic girdle pain and adapting her exercise routine
- How Noni prepared for birth using affirmations, hypnobirthing principles, perineal massage and more
- The story of her vaginal birth — from stretch and sweeps to an artificial rupture of membranes (ARM)
- Using a TENS machine for pain relief and how it helped her stay active and in control during labour
- Navigating an unexpected heart rate drop and the quick decision to move things along
- Post-birth recovery — returning to running, pelvic floor challenges, and finding a new sense of self as a mum
