Summary
KEY TOPICS: 2 births, miscarriage, fertility, posterior uterus, transverse lie, induction, natural delivery, advanced maternal age, pandemic Welcome to an uplifting episode of empowerment, positivity and humour! We meet Dulcie Edwards, her husband and their two children, born either side of the pandemic. For years Dulcie never dreamed of becoming a parent - but when the time came to start a family in her early 30's, she describes tricky menstrual cycles and hormonal treatment for fertility issues. After a sad miscarriage, the couple found they were expecting their daughter in 2019. There's some very funny anecdotes through Dulcie's pregnancy journey (especially from her workplace at a school!), before a long labour began. She describes how her baby seemed 'stuck,' due to a transverse position and her posterior uterus. A fast birth followed with a good recovery for both, though Dulcie speaks about processing her emotions in the early postpartum months. After the pandemic, the family found they were expecting a little boy. At full-term Dulcie was induced due to the risk of infection. She describes an intense labour with no pain relief, and her son making his arrival known! We chat about her recovery, the children's bond and personalities, plus her hopes for their futures - especially in a digital world. This was a fun and empowering one to record, and I'm very grateful to Dulcie for sharing her two Gibraltar Birth Stories! (Recorded December 2025).
