Hello! Welcome to episode five of The Mother Yarns. In this episode we speak to Alison James. She gave birth last year in lockdown level four.

We asked her to share the story of her son’s birth. Please be aware - some parts of it are quite upsetting, but it’s also an uplifting and I think inspiring story of love and community. 

Last year, I (Emily) spoke to heaps of mums who birthed during lockdown. You can read their experiences here.

If you have questions about birth in lockdown please talk to your LMC. 

As always, thank you for listening. Follow us at The Mother Yarns instagram page or Facebook page.
