This week I have the pleasure of talking with Vean Ima. Having grown up with a large family unit becoming a mother was always something Vean wanted to experience. It was after a long awaited diagnosis of endometriosis and corrective surgery she was told that she wouldn’t be able to conceive and become pregnant. This left her feeling deeply disorientated and devastated. Fast forward a number of years down the track and Vean is now mother to six babies. Vean explores her journey of motherhood and selfhood, what it was like to be surprised by twins after four babies at the age of 40, her pregnancy and coming to birth her twins boys vaginally. Vean’s story is a evidence to the many things we are, being people well as being parents and finding one's own way to raise your family.
