In this weeks episode, I answer many of the questions that were sent to me.

These are:- 

What do you think is the most important thing to bring with you on your pregnancy journey?
What is your top care provider red flag.
My doula was not what I hoped they would be and I am pregnant again. Should I hire a different doula to support me this time or not? What do I do if the midwives don’t come to my homebirth - my husbands fears keep rising up and I don't know how to reassure him. 
My nipples are flat, am I still ok to breastfeed my baby?
What do you recommend we do to prepare for Postpartum? Is there any particular things you would suggest we do during pregnancy?
