This summer we've curated your Delivery Room playlist with even more birth stories from our friends at Diary Of A Birth. This episode of Diary of a Birth contains graphic descriptions including blood loss and traumatic injury. Please proceed with caution. Additional resources can be found in the show notes.  A pop. A gush. And suddenly, a huge amount of blood running down her legs. What started as a peaceful first day of maternity leave became a fight for two lives when Sabrina Banayad experienced a rare and life-threatening placental abruption. Sabrina shares the story of her second birth, that ended in a code green emergency cesarean. With extraordinary presence of mind, she called emergency services while home alone, calmly organising childcare and preparing for paramedics even as she continued to haemorrhage. This powerful story is about maternal instinct, quick thinking, and the medical miracle that allowed both mother and daughter to thrive after one of the most dangerous birth complications possible.  Resources: PANDA Birth Trauma And Recovery Birth Trauma Australia  Gidget Foundation THE END BITS:Support independent women's mediaFollow Diary Of A Birth on Instagram Listen to more Diary Of A Birth here. CREDITS: Host: Ksenija Lukich Birth Story: Sabrina Banayad Obstetrician & Gynaecologist: Dr Bronwyn Devine Producers: Ksenija Lukich & Tina Matolov Audio Producer: Leah Porges  Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
