Planned homebirth turned positive non-emergency hospital transfer story || Emily's birth of Benson (Queensland)

In episode 56, Emily, an emergency nurse who chose to homebirth with her first baby 'Benson' shares her unexpected, non-emergency transfer to hospital story. 
Emily shares her pregnancy journey, her labour at home, and her decision to transfer into hospital, where she had a very positive experience in birthing Benson in an assisted vaginal birth, supported by her private midwife. 
She also shares some insights into her experience post partum. 

** Emily would like people to know that she realises she has used terminology such as "let me" but wants to clarify that everything she consented to was her choice <3
