In today's episode, Emma shares her two very different birth stories.
Emma's baby boy Ted was born nine years ago, and suffered oxygen deprivation during his delivery - which resulted in a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Emma and her husband were shocked to learn that the hospital trust admitted full responsibility for Ted's brain damage and said this was due to a series of errors. Emma shares how their family processed this information while seeking the compensation they needed in order to effectively care for Ted.
Emma's second birth was a water birth using hypnobirthing, which she describes as healing, and exactly what she needed.
Emma speaks with such clarity and has some wonderful words of wisdom and advice for families faced with a similar diagnosis or scenario. My thanks go to her for sharing.
