Shelby's birth of Eli at home (Queensland) || Homebirth after 3 birth centre births (Shoulder dystocia, NICU, Preterm PROM, Meconium)
Manage episode 417916361 series 3508322
Episode 36 is shared by mum to 4 under 6 years, Shelby. Shelby felt naive going in to her first 2 births, and although she learnt about homebirth (via freebirth first!) after her 2nd baby, she chose to have another birth centre birth. It wasn't until after reflection many months later, that she decided for her 4th baby she would plan a homebirth. An episode that makes you think about why 3 non-homebirths had so many issues, but her 4th baby who was born at home, was so different.
