MWA E13 – Pregnant & Prepping for a Home-birth in a Global Pandemic.

--:--
Kath (@kathleenwriting) caught up with Dee (@phdee_vay) 37 weeks into her second pregnancy to talk about what it has been like being pregnant and preparing for a birth in a global pandemic. Dee chats about her birth preparations like finding her birthing team, being ready to change expectations and arrangements to accommodate the world’s crazy, partnering and parenting in lockdown and gearing up for a homebirth. Dee has since given birth to the newest member of MWA. We welcome baby Zawedde Rainbow Marco-Morgan into the world. The world is a crazy place but Akani, Tau, Amukelani and Zawedde give us hope and light to build (and demolish) for a better tomorrow.
