As a young mum Jena was prepared for the “worst” experience of her life – giving birth, but it turns out that it wasn’t as bad as she was told it would be.

Xavier had a 2 vessel cord (occurring in approx. 1% ofpregnancies) which required extra monitoring through pregnancy but arrived healthy and strong, although Jena birthed posterior and had a 3rd degree tear.

A couple of years later Zephyr arrived in a fast waterbirth(also posterior) and Jena is very proud of being able to handle these two births.

However, when Zephyr was 4 months old Jena was shocked to discover she was pregnant again. Furthermore after her first scan there were concerns for her baby. Jena shares her experience of the NIPT test and an Amniocentesis(Amnio) to discover her baby boy had Downs Syndrome.

Jena openly discusses what the path looked like for her andher family and their decision to choose TFMR (termination for medical reason) at 18 weeks.
