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.
