Sharon and Winter talk about little Ivy Rebecca, who was stillborn at 40 weeks due to a cord accident. Sharon recounts the surprise of finding herself pregnant, because it took some time to become pregnant with her other children. She talks about lining up midwives and a birthing doula and finding out the gender during the 20 week ultrasound appointment. Sharon also tells us about how Ivy was born and having to plan a funeral instead of enjoying the sweet beginning of a new life.
