Abigail Secretly Hopes No Midwives Turn Up & Gets Her Wish

Abigail takes us briefly through her initial birth in which she experienced a postpartum hospital transfer after what she describes as midwifery sabotage, and how doing her research and absorbing from her community led her to hope for a freebirth (albeit secretly) for the birth of her 11lb second born. She also speaks about her experienced with hyperemesis with both pregnancies, her three weeks of prodromal labour, and shares her wisdom around being rhesus negative and anti D.
