Episode 6 | Grace Chadd Wilkinson, NHS Birth, NICU, Extended Breastfeeding, Miscarriage, COVID Pregnancy

On this week’s episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Grace, the founder of Irie&I and mother to Iris. She gave birth to her 21 month-old via NHS midwife-led care at the Whittington Hospital in London. She gave birth vaginally and opted for diamorphine in labour. Iris spent 5 days in the NICU and Grace shares her extended breastfeeding story. She fell pregnant after Iris and miscarried at 7 weeks. She talks candidly about her journey through that loss and is currently pregnant again in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. To hear her full story, tune into this week’s episode! xo Ashley Hosted by Ashley Brenninkmeijer Music by Jonny Woodley Irie and I, Grace’s children’s shop Claire, Tutum Hypnobirthing Your Baby, Your Birth by Hollie de Cruz Michael Odent: "I usually claim that pregnant women should not read books about pregnancy and birth. Their time is too precious. They should, rather, watch the moon and sing to their babies in the womb.”
