To hear the second episode on this series where we talk to Billie click below. Following from talking to Jess about what was said from the OB-gyn it was such a good idea to then start putting up the long awaited interview that I had done months ago with this amazing mother Billie. She was willing to talk after she had just given birth to her 2nd baby and for that I, so grateful for. She talks openly about her pregnancy , gives advice to others who are thinking about starting a family and more. Thankyou again Billie .
