Claudia shares the story of deciding to freebirth her second son, after midwives and paramedics had interrupted her 3rd stage with her first baby and caused her to transfer to hospital. This time she knew exactly what she wanted to avoid, and how she wanted the birth to go.
However, she also learns the risk of not entirely communicating the plan to her partner, when unwanted midwives and paramedics are called in.
She also navigates having to make decisions around her persistent high blood pressure and possible signs of pre eclampsia.
