166: Jenna Mouritz opens up about the worst day of her life

Jenna Mouritz lives on a property in the wheatbelt of Western Australia. She's the local physio in a town of just 150 people and has dedicated so much of her time to improving access to services across her region. Jenna's journey especially when it comes to motherhood has been heartbreaking at times to say the least. From an injury, a miscarriage, and overcoming stage 2 melanoma, it hasn't been an easy few years. But Jenna's toughest time came when at 20 weeks pregnant with one of her children, she was diagnosed with a complication everyone believed would be relatively harmless as long as she continued to be monitored closely. But At 36 weeks, while on the farm, 350 kilometres from the nearest birthing hospital, Jenna was suddenly in a lot of pain. She travelled with her husband all the way to Perth in agony, and arrived to discover that her baby had passed away. She went into labour and delivered her little boy stillborn.
