S2 EP: 5 Hayley - Two Births, Hospital Birth, Fragmented Care, Spontaneous Labour, Instrumental Delivery, Homebirth, Private Midwife, Surprise Breech Birth, Long 3rd Stage.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Hayley as she opens up about her transformative journey through two distinct birth experiences. 

Amidst the challenges of navigating pregnancy during the COVID era, Hayley reflects on the profound effects of fragmented care on the birthing process. Following a pivotal moment during her first labour, Hayley made a decision to embrace a new approach to care for her second pregnancy – opting for a homebirth supported by a private midwife.

In a remarkable turn of events, Hayley's second labour presented an unexpected twist as her baby arrived breech. With unwavering support and expertise from her dedicated midwife, Hayley's breech birth unfolded smoothly and safely within the comfort of her home.
