Today’s episode is a big one! I’m joined by Melbourne based doula Jess Quain, who has three earth babies and one star baby. Her most recent little boy was born five weeks ago so Jess has been navigating postpartum life during a pandemic. She talks about isolation with a newborn and two other children, breastfeeding after a breast augmentation, and the ups and downs of new motherhood. Jess also shares the story of her first daughter Lily-Ann who was born sleeping at 33 weeks. This lead to Jess experiencing postpartum depression and psychosis after the birth of her second daughter. Jess is a remarkable woman, full of warmth and wisdom. She has come so far in her journey as a mother and it is beautiful to witness. You can find her on Instagram @jess.quain. I hope you enjoy today’s episode.
