This episode we speak to Lana, who after having a super straightforward pregnancy and birth with her daughter Olivia, and a fairly straighforward pregnancy with Louie ended up with him in the SCBU - even though he was born at term. A pretty fast birth saw him struggle with breathing a little initially and then a midwife picked up at Louie wasn't breathing at 12 hours old.

Louie had a relatively short stay in SCBU but it was still awful for Lana who also had Olivia at home to think about!

Thanks heaps to Lana for chatting with me. Enjoy!
