In this episode I talk to a mother who speaks really vulnerably about her first experience where she had a lot of grief around needing a planned caesarean for a breech baby, where she had a baby in peak covid, with a lack of support. This experience was very challenging, she had a lot challenges with breastfeeding and sleep, and bonding to her first baby took time. She did a lot of work and then had a positive vbac birth with her second and a much more positive experience that she worked so hard for. 
Thank you to this incredibly strong mother who is so raw about the high's and the low's she has had in her motherhood experience.
