In this week's episode, I am chatting to Rose, a young mum who knew what she wanted for her dream birth, and did everything in her power to achieve it.

She always knew she wanted to give birth at home, which was backed up by her role in supporting families who have experienced medical negligence. Rose felt that the safest place for her baby to be born was away from unnecessary intervention but had to convince her loved ones to feel the same.

In the end, her hard work and determination paid off. Rose had a beautiful homebirth with her mum and partner present.

Enjoy listening to this incredibly empowering birth experience.

Any recommendations made may not be suitable for all listeners, so you should always do your own research before making decisions.

In this weeks episode, I answer many of the questions that were sent to me.

These are:-

What do you think is the most important thing to bring with you on your pregnancy journey?
What is your top care provider red flag.
My doula was not what I hoped they would be and I am pregnant again. Should I hire a different doula to support me this time or not? What do I do if the midwives don’t come to my homebirth - my husbands fears keep rising up and I don't know how to reassure him.
My nipples are flat, am I still ok to breastfeed my baby?
What do you recommend we do to prepare for Postpartum? Is there any particular things you would suggest we do during pregnancy?
