You, Me & HG

This episode we're joined by two-time HG survivor, Jess, who shares her experiences trying to work as a teacher during her first pregnancy (while keeping it a secret), being body shamed and dismissed by her regional town's local hospital, seeking different care at the very last minute after she grew concerned about reduced movements and was dismissed by her main care providers resulting in an emergency caesarean at a totally new hospital, and the learnings she took with her into her second pregnancy.  Content warning for discussions of reduced foetal movements and NICU stay.
