My name is Emma, I am 35 years old and I am an antiques specialist.

I gave birth at QCCH in 2022 – My baby was detected in breech at my last pregnancy check which led to a last minute ECV at more than 38 weeks pregnant. The result of this late diagnosis and intervention was an early start of labour followed by a long and complicated birth.

Thankfully, we both ended up well, my baby and I!

I have been contacted a few weeks later by the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust which asked me to support their application for the Sono breech study by testifying of my birth experience and helping them review their application summary.

I have since been offered to join the PPIE panel which I am delighted to be part of!
