Episode 3 | Tamsyn Part 1

In this first part of Tamsyn’s story, she shares the lead-up to meeting her son, Benjamin, and the early days of postpartum that followed.

We talk about pregnancy complicated by high blood pressure, an induction, and a birth that unfolded quickly once labour began. Tamsyn reflects on the beautiful moment of meeting Benjamin for the first time — a moment she will always hold onto dearly.

From there, the conversation moves into those early postpartum days, and we discussed Tamsyn's experience of the baby blues and her physical recovery.

Tamsyn also generously shares the unexpected challenges that arose when Benjamin was found to have a kidney condition, leading to time in hospital shortly after birth. She speaks with such honesty about what it was like to navigate this alongside her own recovery.

This episode is a reflection on how unpredictable postpartum can be, how much strength it can take to move through it and how important support is during this season.
