  • Such a relief !

    I’m a late diagnosed autistic female - listening to these podcasts has been such a relief to know that it wasn’t me ! It’s helped me be more compassionate to myself about this time , and also now I am beginning to recognise how well I did during both of my pregnancies .

  • A long time coming!!!

    This conversation is what women have needed for a long time. Neurodivergent or not, we all need to explore this space and what happens when women give birth, the support and their experiences. A safe pair of hands to discus this topic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S4 Ep10: Live Book Launch! 'Why Neurodivergent Birth Matters' by Victoria White
Q: What was the hardest part of writing the book?
The most challenging part was accepting the chaos of writing while balancing life responsibilities, which forced me to slot the work around margins rather than in ideal settings, a realization that aligns with the realities many neurodivergent people face.
S4 Ep8: Asking for Support Postnatally with Candy Elsbeth from Nourishing Birth & Beyond
Q: So Candy Elsbeth, welcome to The Neurodivergent Birth Podcast. Could you introduce yourself and tell listeners what you do and how you identify as neurodivergent?
Candy describes herself as a birth and postpartum educator defined by flexibility in how she works with people, and she shares that she is neurodivergent and a nurse who has worked in intensive care, which informs her practical, holistic approach to postpartum support.
S5 Ep 11: 8 Weeks to Prepare for your ND Birth: Feeding Your Baby
Q: How can families navigate the variety of professionals and support available for feeding?
She distinguishes IBCLCs as the top tier and explains the ladder from IBCLC to lactation consultants and peer supporters, advising consistency (same coach when possible) and leveraging home visits or private appointments to reduce conflicting advice.
S5 Ep 11: 8 Weeks to Prepare for your ND Birth: Feeding Your Baby
Q: What are the main feeding options and how might neurodivergent needs influence choosing between them?
Elizabeth explains breast/chest feeding, formula, combination feeding, exclusive pumping, and donor milk, highlighting that many families blend methods for supply and regulation, and that choice should support the parent's nervous system and the baby's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
S5 Ep 9: Bonus Guest Episode: 'She Seems Fine to Me' The Importance of Being Open and Honest about Postnatal OCD with Kimberley Nixon
Q: What would you want professionals in maternity services to take away from your story?
She hopes clinicians recognize the realities of postnatal OCD and the day-to-day struggles beyond appointments, to validate patient experiences and provide practical, compassionate support rather than relying on generic reassurances.
