On this episode, 2 Mothers has a chat with Kayleigh from the U.S. as she shares her brith story. Kayleigh experienced an AFE (amniotic fluid embolism)  while in labor with her son Cal. She went through major birth trauma and now uses her experience to be an advocate and raise awareness for birth trauma and AFE survivors. We want to thank Kayleigh for speaking her truth with us and shedding light on birth trauma and the importance of mental health treatment. 

Warning: This episode contains subject matter that some may find triggering (medical intervention details, potential for loss/death).
