Amber-Lee's HG story You, Me & HG

This episode mum-of-two and maternal mental health advocate Amber-Lee chats to us about her two HG experiences, how she felt when she found out she was pregnant with her second child six months after a traumatic birth with her first, how she's put herself back together, physically and mentally, after two difficult pregnancies and how she's dedicated to improving the maternal mental health space. Content warning: this episode discusses birth trauma and mental health issues.
