Needles & Stitches: The Surprising Birth Story Of Fiona Falkiner

Needles & Stitches: The Surprising Birth Story Of Fiona Falkiner22. Juli 202524 Min.

On this weeks episode, we take a look back at an insightful interview Mamamia's very own Jessie Stephens had with Model and former Biggest Loser host Fiona Falkiner and her now wife, journalist Hayley Willis. They didn’t really have a birth plan, Fiona did know two things. She wanted to be induced. And she didn’t want to see a pair of forceps in the room with her.

So, did her birth wishes come true?

In this episode of The Delivery Room, Fiona and Hayley join Jessie to discuss the long road that led them into the birthing suite in March 2021.
