🚨New Episode Alert 🚨
Labour is one of the most powerful and transformative chapters of pregnancy — a rhythm of strength, vulnerability, and deep intuition 🤰🏻
In this episode of Midwives & Milktea, we explore the intrapartum period: what truly happens during labour, why individualized and evidence-informed midwifery care matters, and how gentle herbal allies can support comfort and calm along the way. 🌿🫖🍵
We’ll talk peppermint for nausea, lavender and rose for relaxation, milky oat tops for nervous system support, and how to create a simple herbal comfort kit — including our signature blends from Mangata Apothecary.
This conversation blends science, compassion, and plant wisdom to help make birth feel more supported and empowering 💪🏼🌟
