Summary

In today's episode we're hearing from Lou about her precipitous birth. She loved being pregnant and really embraced educating herself and preparing for labour. Lou shares her experience of white coat hypertension and how she managed it with the support of her midwife during pregnancy, so her story beautifully highlights the value of continuity of care. We also talk about how she navigated an unexpectedly fast labour and how the final 40 minutes ended up being some of the best moments of her life.
