This week on the Her Herd Podcast, we’re joined by Rhianon, a rural mum from South Australia’s Mid Murray region.
After moving to the country for her husband’s farming career, Rhianon found herself navigating pregnancy and motherhood far from the support networks she had always known. She shares the story of believing she was expecting twins, two very different pregnancies, two beautiful births, and the heartbreaking experience of losing a pregnancy to an ectopic pregnancy between her children.
Rhianon also opens up about those early weeks of motherhood, when she knew something wasn’t right with her newborn but struggled to have her concerns heard. It’s a powerful reminder of just how important it is for women to trust their instincts and feel listened to.
What shines through most in this conversation is Rhianon’s appreciation for continuity of care and the midwives who walked alongside her, as well as her growing passion for ensuring rural families continue to have access to the maternity services they deserve.
It’s a conversation full of honesty, perspective, and hope, and we’re so grateful that Rhianon trusted us with her story.
