Today we chat to Sara about her two birth experiences which took place during COVID.

Sara experienced the cascade of interventions in the hospital system with her first birth and went on to have an incredible precipitous labour at home with her second baby.  Sara also talks to us about the issues with living in a more rural/country location and how that had an impact on where she was able to give birth and changing care providers at 32 weeks in her second pregnancy. Sara’s second baby was diagnosed with PHPV- an eye condition that was diagnosed with after the 6 week check-up.
