Kaila's Story - In this episode I talk to Kaila who shares her journey into motherhood with us. Kaila explains that she always knew she wanted to be a mother and when she felt ready to start her family, she was met with multiple health concerns that she needed to overcome prior to conceiving. 

After Kaila put in the hard work to get her health back on track, she was so excited to find out she was pregnant only to be devastated to find out she was having a missed miscarriage during her 12-week ultrasound. 

Kaila then tells us about how she fell pregnant with her son Sunny and her perfect pregnancy right up until the pointy end of the pregnancy when it was discovered she had low placenta fluid. Faced with an induction and medical intervention she explains how she navigated the final weeks of her pregnancy and had to advocate for herself. 

After making it to 39 weeks Kaila tells us her birth story which took place at the Lismore hospital and although it included an induction, epidural and a few other medical interventions that she preferred not to happen she describes it as a positive experience and hopes to help other women facing the same situation as her. 

We also talk about postpartum and establishing breastfeeding.
