Today, we're talking about a subject that's close to my heart.
Ways to save the lives of premature babies and new mothers with simple medical devices.
Pregnancy is a very exciting time.
I've had two, so I would know.

and counting down the weeks until we meet our babies, getting gifts and advice from other mums and...
Clinging on to any information we can get about childbirth.
Because the truth is, it's a very scary experience and anything can happen.
I had complications during childbirth that meant I had to be rushed to theatre
and I still get a bit emotional when talking
about it because of the risks that were involved for both me and my baby.
I spent more than a month after delivering my first child in and out of hospital getting strong medication.
Even then, I was one of the lucky ones.
