EP236 Clare (PT1) Four Pregnancies, Three Vaginal Births, One Miscarriage, Postpartum

This week I share my chat with Clare who talks me through each of her four birth stories across two episodes. Over the last 7 years Clare has been through a lot. She gave birth to four babies, suffered one pregnancy loss and held her daughter Mary as she passed away at just 5 days old. I decided to split Clare's story across two episodes as we spoke for some time and I really didn't want to remove any part of her story.

In this episode, PT1, we hear Clare's three vaginal birth stories. She worked hard labouring at home with each of her experiences and travelled into hospital sometimes just in time to birth her baby in hospital and not in the car. She also shares early pregnancy loss and postpartum experiences which as we all know are hugely important aspects of our stories.

In PT2 which I will share next week, Clare shares her fifth pregnancy and the birth of her daughter Mary who was diagnosed with Down syndrome and additionally a rare condition called Hydro's (hydrops fetalis)during her pregnancy following multiple scans and investigations. Next week I will share much more of Marys birth.

Thank you so much Clare
