E30 Deer Shed Festival Part 2 with Jessica Herbert

In this episode we talk to Jessica Herbert  about her love of tree climbing and getting comedian Mark Watson to tell jokes whilst dangling from a tree.   Jess talks about her son Oaken In spring of 2020, Jess was pregnant and had a 12 week scan. The scan identified concerns with the baby and it was soon confirmed he had a chromosome problem – Edwards Syndrome also known as Trisomy 18. This meant that their baby was likely to be miscarried and, if he did make it to birth, he would not live long – maybe a year if their were really lucky. Jess said Martin House provided support to us right from the start. They helped us write a care plan which ensured our objectives were articulated to the various medics involved. We desperately wanted to meet our baby, whom we named Oaken.This episode might not be our usual podcast but its a wonderful listen and if you can please donate.
