We worked with Hayley when I was pregnant with Ella. If you’re interested in learning more about midwifery prenatal and postnatal care, what an out of hospital birth experience can look like, the benefits plus common concerns or questions – Hayley shares her wealth of knowledge with us in today’s episode. As a new mother Hayley also shares more about her own birth experience and how being a midwife impacted her birth!
