Alaura's birth of Arius at home (Western Australia) || FTM Homebirth, born en caul
Manage episode 401684966 series 3508322
In episode 24 Alaura, the partner of Trent who shared his experience of homebirth a few episodes ago, shares with us her birth of baby Arius. As we know, homebirth for first time mums is relatively rare, but through preconception education, Alaura knew homebirth was the best option for her, even when the GP tried to talk her out of it!
All first time mums should hear this beautiful story!
