In this episode, I’m sharing something incredibly personal—my second pregnancy and birth story. At 44yrs, after going through IVF with our only remaining embryo, I found myself pregnant during the peak of the wet season. From morning sickness and humidity to preparing for another little soul to arrive, this was a very different journey from my first.

This is an honest, raw retelling—from IVF round #2, through pregnancy, and being induced at 39 weeks—to the moment of birth. It’s a positive birth story, where I share my opinion and experience of becoming a mumma to our beautiful baby girl.

In this episode you’ll hear me talk about:
😷 The continuation of our IVF journey and how I narrowly missed covid!
🤰 My pregnancy journey through out the wet season and how this one was different to my first pregnancy
⚤  Our gender reveal
😳 My opinion of the Glucose Tolerance Test
🗣 The conversation leading up to being induced
😫 Going through labour round #2

If you want the full run down on my first pregnancy head on over to Episode #35 Navigating IVF, Pregnancy, Motherhood and Business

I hope you enjoy this episode and I will be back later this year with more mindset tips and techniques, sound baths and meditations and personal stories. ✨
