This week I share my chat with Stephanie, who talks me through her third experience with birth. We talk through pregnancy while also looking after other kids, life, and work. The original plan was to give birth at home, just as she had with her previous experiences. At 41 weeks, Stephanie was admitted to hospital as baby wasn’t head down and there were increased waters. Throughout her experience, Stephanie was supported by each HCP she interacted with, all of whom gave their time to discuss options and listen to her wants and concerns. I’m delighted to share Stephanie’s third and final story, which I was so happy to hear was as powerful and positive as each of her previous experiences.
