Unexpectedly giving birth to a baby with disabilities can change the course of your life.


In this episode Jane and Melissa share their birth stories and talk us through the challenges they faced when their babies were born with complications.

Jane and Melissa offer advice for other parents following in their footsteps, such as how to find your tribe, how to get the help you need and how to stay positive against the odds.


Above all, the two mums offer a message of hope and show how joy can be found in living with and loving children with disabilities.
