The day finally arrived... but not everything look quite how we imagined.

In Part 2 of our Birth Stories series, we continue where we left off and share the labour, birth, and early postpartum experiences that brought our babies earthside.

From contractions and decision-making during labour to the emotions of meeting our babies for the first time, we're sharing the moments that challenged us, surprised us, and shaped our journeys into parenthood.

We also reflect on those often-overlooked first few days after birth and the recovery.

This episode isn't about the "perfect" birth story. It's about real experiences, honest reflections, and the lessons we wish we'd known sooner.

In this episode we chat about:• Our labour experiences from start to finish• Decisions we made during birth and why• Unexpected moments and challenges along the way• Meeting our babies for the first time• The golden hours

• What we learned from our birth experiences• Advice for expecting parents preparing for their own birth journey

Whether your birth is approaching or you're simply interested in hearing real and relatable stories, we hope this episode leaves you feeling informed, supported, and reminded that every birth journey is unique.
