Your pregnancy and birth experience have a profound impact on your postpartum recovery, as well as your ongoing mental health and wellbeing.
In this episode, expert guest Dr. Perri Dyson, Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, joins hosts Larissa and Kath to discuss a critical issue highlighted in the recent NSW government report on birth trauma. While the report is extensive, we’ll focus on one key theme: informed consent.
This is an important topic for us at Homb—our mission is to reduce the incidence of postnatal depression and anxiety (PNDA), and we know that women who experience traumatic births are at higher risk for both postnatal depression (PPD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In fact, 1 in 4 women report experiencing PTSD symptoms after birth, and 1 in 16 meet the full criteria for PTSD.
In this episode, we unpack some of the key recommendations from the report aimed at reducing birth trauma and its long-term impact.

Motherhood is a learning process, every mother’s experience is unique and it’s okay to ask for help and support.

Growing up, we’re often exposed to the idealised fairytale version of starting a family: you meet your soulmate, fall in love, get married, and have kids.
But it’s 2024, and as adults, we understand that these fairytales often set unrealistic expectations for what family life actually looks like for most people. The truth is, there are countless wonderful stories of parenthood that don’t fit the conventional mould.
In this episode of No Place Like Homb, hosts Larissa and Claire chat with Caterina Mete, AKA The Red Wiggle, about her unique motherhood journey and the empowering choice to parent solo.

“It’s been dubbed the postpartum blind spot, new mums whisked out of hospital at record rates just after giving birth and parents are slipping through the cracks. But these women are saving mums suffering in silence from perinatal depression.”
