## Resource

Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin says she and her husband would have had a fourth child, but for her debilitating pregnancies. The scientist and broadcaster says her births went without a hitch, but she was chronically ill with hyperemesis gravidarum on each of her three pregnancies - a complication that causes persistent and extreme vomiting. Her third child, her daughter Doireann, was born at home; something she says she will never forget. Aoibhinn breastfed all three, though she found each experience difficult in their own way. One of her sons was born with a tooth making the process very painful. In this episode, the DCU professor also shares how having children gave her a new perspective on her experience of workplace harassment, and deepened her resolve to advocate for nature restoration. Please note this episode has one or two moments of strong language.   Presented by Jen Hogan. Produced by Aideen Finnegan.   Brought to you in association with Avonmore Super Milk. Hosted on Acast.
