In my first pregnancy, I spent a lot of time in waiting rooms. I’d sit for an hour or more, uncomfortable in those final weeks, waiting for a short appointment.
At the time, I told myself this was a good thing. It meant they were a popular provider. I felt lucky to have a “sought-after” expert on my team.
Looking back, I see it so differently. Every time they finally saw me, I could sense the rush. My actual face-to-face connection was tiny compared to the hours of waiting.
When the birth came, that lack of connection was felt. My plan was largely unacknowledged. Things that meant everything to me - like delayed cord clamping - were overlooked in the rush of clinical protocols.
I was a patient being managed, not a partner being heard.
My second pregnancy changed because I stopped valuing “popularity” and started valuing “alignment” . I did the work to find a guide who trusted my body as much as I did.
I’m hosting a FREE live webinar on Friday, 24th April at 10:30 am AWST to help you move past this trap. We are going to walk through a live, 5-layer audit of your birth circle using the Pancha Kosha framework.
Whether you’re TTC or weeks away from birth, come and ensure your birth guide is actually with you, not just on your team on paper.
