  • In this episode we talk to Jessica Herbert  about her love of tree climbing and getting comedian Mark Watson to tell jokes whilst dangling from a tree.   
  • Jess talks about her son Oaken
  •  In spring of 2020, Jess was pregnant and had a 12 week scan. The scan identified concerns with the baby and it was soon confirmed he had a chromosome problem – Edwards Syndrome also known as Trisomy 18. This meant that their baby was likely to be miscarried and, if he did make it to birth, he would not live long – maybe a year if their were really lucky. 
  • Jess said Martin House provided support to us right from the start. They helped us write a care plan which ensured our objectives were articulated to the various medics involved. We desperately wanted to meet our baby, whom we named Oaken.
  • This episode might not be our usual podcast but its a wonderful listen and if you can please donate. Thank you
