589 | Beth, three vaginal births, blended family, returning to motherhood with a 13-year age gap
Sunday, 21 December, 2025

Beth shares her remarkable journey of welcoming baby Milo – her third child and first with partner Dean. After a 13-year gap since her last birth, Beth navigated the unique challenges of pregnancy in her thirties whilst parenting teenagers Tyler (13) and Ivy (11) from a previous relationship. Her story beautifully illustrates how birth experiences can evolve and how different life circumstances shape our approach to pregnancy and labour. From dealing with a low-lying placenta that was leading to a caesarean birth to ultimately achieving the vaginal birth she desperately wanted, Beth's journey is one of resilience, preparation, and the profound love that binds blended families together.
