In this week’s episode of the podcast, Chloe shares her incredible and eye-opening birthing experience, revealing what happens when maternity services are an hour away. Chloe’s story is one of resilience and courage—she’s been through so much, from the heartbreaking loss of her daughter at 26 weeks, to having her first son 100 kilometers from home, and then delivering in a situation where the nearest maternity ward was no longer an option. In fact, Chloe was told, "Do not come here," leaving her with only two choices: a netball court or the emergency department of a hospital that had recently closed its maternity services. What do you do when your husband is the only one there to catch your baby? Chloe’s journey makes it clear why the fight for accessible rural and regional maternity services is so critical. Chloe, we’re beyond thankful that you shared your story with our Herd community, and we’re honored to provide the platform for you to set the record straight on what really happened.
