Mental Health and New Mothers

Johns guest is a newborn care and breastfeeding specialist, founder of The Amazing, Pain Free Birth and Beyond, new mother coach and podcast host Viviane Schima. She is a professional doula and has helped and guided mothers through their pregnancy, birth and after, supporting physically and emotionally.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
 

A doula is a person who can support you through pregnancy, labour and birth, or after you have your baby.
Viviane supports her clients to ensure the mother gets the best birth experience and represents her interests against the often dissenting voices in the medical field and close family.
After the birth is a delicate time due to sleep deprivation, lack of time to relationally communicate with a partner and previous problems being exacerbated. For this reason Viviane coaches the partner as well.
When dealing with single mothers Viviane becomes the main support.
Becoming a doula really helped Viviane work out some of her own relationship issues and helped her realise and put right some mistakes in her own partnership.

 
BEST MOMENTS
 
‘Even with family support, sometimes family just don’t agree with what the mother wants to do around childbirth.’ – Viviane
‘I blend not just the evidence based information that I provide to them but I also blend coaching into it as I open the door for them.’ - Viviane
‘Sometimes its just the baby, they put everything into the baby and I understand it’s the maternal instinct but we cannot forget that half of that genetic material is the fathers.’ – Viviane
‘It is life changing. The thought of just having a baby can do significant things to the mind, the emotions that can completely throw you, make you think differently.’ – John
‘Well I would say from a scale from 1 to 10 I’d say I’m definitely a 13 or 14. This not only helps other people to achieve their goals and where they want to be but also helped me figure out a lot of things before I started doing this.’ - Viviane
