A mum with a birth plan, and a baby with a very different idea…

Michelle Battersby’s birth was long, her baby got stuck and she was forced to pivot to a birth she had never considered.

The entrepreneur, marketing guru & founder of Sunroom shares her diary of a birth.

Diary Of A Birth features mums telling their miraculous stories of bringing life into the world, and we have all medical questions and concerns cleared up by one of Australia’s favourite paediatricians, Dr Golly.

If you’d like to share your birth story, we’d love to hear from you at podcast@mamamia.com.au or send us a voice note here.

Right now, women all across the globe are giving birth. It seems like a pretty common thing, but there's nothing common about birth. No two experiences are the same, and we want to celebrate that.

Mamamia's new podcast Diary Of A Birth is the place for women to swap stories about one of the most transformative events in life, sharing their extraordinary experiences filled with profound emotions, unique stories and transformative moments.

Hosted by Ksenija Lukich with expert input from paediatrician Dr Golly.

Coming Wednesday November 20 to Mamamia.

If you’d like to share your birth story, we’d love to hear from you at podcast@mamamia.com.au or send us a voice note here.
