Raise Them Free

Let me be honest with you from the start...this podcast wasn't my idea! and honestly I had no intention of talking about Breach babies. It's not happened to many people I know and there is so much we could talk about but Meg Russell got in touch and I knew this was an episode with her story I couldn't miss serving you with. Megs real, honest open and hope giving. So for all of you where your baby hasn't turned yet, you're having a breach baby or you're just curious...enjoy. Meg gives us a dose of the reality of fast labours, Breach births and w hole lot of positivity!

As always we believe You've got this
