In today’s episode, Jennie and I discuss a surprisingly simple conception after some initial infertility fears and three rounds of egg freezing. Jennie talks about her reasons for choosing a home birth and how to cope when the plan doesn’t unfold as you imagined it would. Her partner wasn’t able to join her in the ambulance for the emergency transfer to hospital. But upon arriving at the hospital, Jennie’s daughter was born within 20 minutes, and she found the hospital team of midwives provided her incredible support.Breastfeeding wasn’t straightforward to begin with, but Jennie powered through the initial struggles to reach the point where she fed her daughter for 2.5 years. Jennie’s daughter was also born at the same time as a second baby - Jennie’s business and we unpack some of the challenges and coping mechanisms that have been useful while navigating the journey to motherhood and self employment at the same time.
