Show Notes
In this weeks episode of Kiwi Birth Tales I speak with Olivia Hewetson who takes us through her two birth stories with sons Beau & Leo.
Olivia spends time taking us through her pregnancy and birth with Leo as everything was tracking as it should have been until a 41 week growth scan showing abnormalities in growth with her baby. They were told it was extremely likely Leo would have a form of Dwarfism and the rest was left unknown until Leo was born. Olivia was induced on the same day and after an 8 hour labour Leo was born, his form of Dwarfism was Achondroplasia.
Olivia takes us through processing this information at 41 weeks, how they got the information and help they needed once Leo was born and also gives great insight into their lives which were changed forever, but in the most positive way.
Olivia is an amazing mum, advocate for people with differences and is always willing to chat with anyone so I encourage you to check their lovely family out on Instagram @olivia_hewetson
Thanks for listening!
