In this week's episode Georgina tells the story of both her births, with a focus on her first baby who was born at home. Georgina takes us through the steps her and her husband took to prepare for the birth, and then her journey through labour and birth. Look out for how nearly the whole experience was de-railed and how Georgina managed to keep on track with her plans and have the birth she wished for.

And then we also get a bonus description of the much more speedy birth of her son in the birth centre!

The narrative is often that it isn't possible to have a good or positive birth with a first baby, that it's dangerous to have a first baby at home (the evidence does NOT support this), or that you will need help if you have never had a baby before etc etc. I hope Georgina's story will encourage you that these assumptions are unhelpful and inaccurate.
