Summary

In this remarkable episode, Lauren takes us through her extraordinary journey of birthing six children whilst building her career as a doula. From her first precipitous labour that saw her go from 3cm to fully dilated in 45 minutes, to her recent identical twin water birth, Lauren's story is one of trust, preparation, and the profound power of physiological birth. As a doula who has supported over 150 births, including nine vaginal twin births, Lauren brings both professional insight and deeply personal experience to this conversation.  Hosted on Acast.
