The first thing The Midwife Mumma founder Amelia Lamont said after giving birth

If you've been following the journey of Amelia Lamont, you'll already know that she's an absolute hoot. And if you haven't been, then you're in for a treat. She's real, she's raw, she doesn't take herself too seriously, and yet, she's managed to build The Midwife Mama empire while raising four children. And here, she tell us all about it. Why she still works as a midwife even though financially, she doesn't need to. How she's built The Midwife Mumma into what it is today, and what it's been like to go from the mum that never wanted to return to paid work, to becoming the primary breadwinner.
