Welcome to Her Herd, a podcast for rural mums, by a rural Mum. Hi I'm Jen, your host and founder of Her Herd. Thanks so much for joining me. Her Herd is a safe space. A place for rural women to share, learn and feel empowered and supported in their motherhood journey. Each week I'll be chatting to country mums' and health care professionals, bringing you fertility, pregnancy and birth stories to help guide and inspire rural women on their motherhood journey. We'll discuss the complexities of parenting and the influences that develop our mothering. Pregnancy and birth often presents many unknowns, often with limited options, especially in our rural health communities. But as you'll hear, rural mums and resilient. So join me as we explore the narratives, values and experiences that weave together to contribute to our overall being as mothers. Let this podcast be your best friend, sharing your happiness, your grief, and laying out the shit noone tells you.

Chloe

In this week’s episode of the podcast, Chloe shares her incredible and eye-opening birthing experience, revealing what happens when maternity services are an hour away. Chloe’s story is one of resilience and courage—she’s been through so much, from the heartbreaking loss of her daughter at 26 weeks, to having her first son 100 kilometers from home, and then delivering in a situation where the nearest maternity ward was no longer an option. In fact, Chloe was told, "Do not come here," leaving her with only two choices: a netball court or the emergency department of a hospital that had recently closed its maternity services. What do you do when your husband is the only one there to catch your baby? Chloe’s journey makes it clear why the fight for accessible rural and regional maternity services is so critical. Chloe, we’re beyond thankful that you shared your story with our Herd community, and we’re honored to provide the platform for you to set the record straight on what really happened.
