Next of Kin The Podcast is back with season 3! I'm your host Emma, a British Expat, Mumpreneur and toddler Mum, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

In today's episode, I am sharing the birth story of my daughter Bonnie, born at Kings College Hospital Dubai, UAE, back in October 2022. I sat down when she was 9 months old and recorded the story of her birth in case I, or her, would ever be interested in it. I hadn't expected to make it into a podcast episode, but I hope that sharing my story will be useful or interesting for my listeners.
