Loralee shares the birth stories of her four children. A midwife herself, Loralee approached pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding with calm confidence, drawing from her experiences working with mothers in remote Australia. Loralee and her husband moved to Busselton WA not long before the birth of their first daughter, where she birthed her first three babies in the local public hospital. Her fourth child was born at home, with the whole family present, in the care of a private midwife. Loralee also shares how she transitioned from working in the hospital system to home birthing as an independent midwife, where she has supported hundreds of families in the community.
