KEY TOPICS: 3 births, large age gap, natural deliveries, advanced maternal age, pandemic
Jenny Ainsworth is our guest today, describing the births of her three children in 2000, 2004... and 2019. Jenny's pregnancies were unplanned but straightforward, and she references feelings of strong maternal instinct. She's a single mum, and regards motherhood as the best experience of her life.
Pregnancy generally suited Jenny, and her natural births were painful but without complication. She describes what it was like to welcome a newborn again... 16 years after her last child! Jenny speaks about the challenges of raising a baby during the pandemic, her breastfeeding experience, choosing names and the special bond she has with her youngest daughter.
Very sadly, Jenny's firstborn - her son - passed away as a baby. We do not discuss details of his loss in this episode, but acknowledge his memory by name. I'm very grateful to Jenny for braving the microphone to share her Gibraltar Birth Stories in this episode. (Recorded January 2025).
