#128. Rose's two homebirths to Oscar and Oliver (and her missed miscarriage experience)

Rose shares her two experiences of homebirth to sons Oscar and Oliver. Plus there’s so much more – topics covered in our chat today include (and are not limited to) :

Missed miscarriage and long time to move through this; conception journey before Oliver’s arrival; gender disappointment; music in labour; Mum being the midwife; husband Andre blowing up the birth pool by his breath alone!; My random experiences 30 years ago in Romania (yeah, off topic but arrived into the convo); Dad's role as birth support and parent; family present at the birth.

I hope you enjoy this very interesting chat I had with Rose, I really appreciate her open and honest accounts of the difficulties she has experienced – along with the proud achievements of learning how powerful, strong and resilient she is.
