About this listen

On this episode we speak to Sorina whose passion for foreign languages led her to Japan where she'd meet her husband and give birth to baby Luca.  Although she initially hoped to have a natural birth, Hashimoto's disease and her low platelet count deemed her as 'high-risk' which resulted in being induced & then ultimately a C-section.She talks about having to accept her modified birth plans & how alone she felt being 'the only one' she knew of with such health issues.Care facility:+ Nobeoka Hospital
