Sam's premature birth/ type 1 diabetes/ public and private hospital
Sam shares a really interesting and emotional story of her son Olly's birth. When she experienced contractions at 34 weeks she was turned away from 2 nearby private hospitals and found herself receiving care at the public hospital without the support of her husband (who was operating a game drive). Sam shares about Olly's ICU stay and finishes the episode speaking about a subsequent miscarriage.
This is a raw and emotional episode, so if you are feeling sensitive than maybe give this episode a miss for another time.
