Cait is a primary teacher, wife to Charlie and mum to her incredible little boy Clancy. Clancy does things his way. Literally! – you will understand exactly what I mean when you listen. By the end of this interview, you will also be saying “that’s so Clancy”.
When I first met Cait, she said to me “nothing is off limits, I love birth, I love babies and I am a chronic over sharer”. This is one of the best chats, Cait tells her families story so beautifully, I literally hung on every word, every twist, every turn, and man it’s a story!
Cait and her husband Charlie started trying for a baby shortly after they were married, Cait had in the back of her mind that it might be a little tricky having been diagnosed with Endo & PCOS. Little did she know what her beautiful boy had in store for her. Cait story includes Endo, fertility treatments, threatened miscarriage, pre-term labour, an empowering vaginal birth, a retained placenta, then many surgeries and a 10-week NICU stay. She takes us through how to prepare for birth before you have packed the bag. We talk how do you prepare for the statistics they throw at you when you have a prem baby, what is it like to stay for long lengths of time in hospital, how do you mentally manage when your discharged and your baby is not, and how to trust and develop your own skills as a parent and a mum when your baby has been in the NICU for such a long time. Cait and her family’s story is incredible, and one that cannot be missed.
