In this episode we speak with Aubree who moved to Japan with her husband from the USA and has since had two babies here.  Due to her positive experience the first time round, both of her babies were born homebirth style at Kishimoto Midwifery in Osaka.  Stone and Lila are very close in age and mama Aubree says that having family over during those early stages really helped her recover and not feel the mama guilt of leaving Stone while attending newborn Lila's needs.
