  • Summary

  • When Georgia Inglis suffered a spinal cord injury at age 10, she didn't let it stop her from becoming a Commonwealth Games silver medalist in wheelchair basketball. But her greatest challenge and triumph would be becoming a mother. In this powerful episode of Diary of a Birth, Georgia shares her remarkable journey of adapting to pregnancy and childbirth with a disability. This rare and inspiring story showcases the strength of mothers living with disability, a perspective that's seldom shared in Australian media.

    Diary Of A Birth features mums telling their miraculous stories of bringing life into the world, and we have all medical questions and concerns cleared up by Australia’s favourite paediatrician, Dr Golly.

    If you’d like to share your birth story, we’d love to hear from you at podcast@mamamia.com.au or send us a voice note here.
