Time to introduce these rays of sunshine 🌞
3 gorgeous, playful, insanely sassy and full of attitude children.
3 different birth stories
1 in 3 women describe their birth as traumatic. This is despite the physical injuries they may or may not sustain. I can only assume that the ratio in rural and remote areas is even higher when you consider services available, travel and care arrangements, emergency care options etc etc.
I had my eldest handsome - with a foot now bigger than mine - little man in rural NSW.
I will openly admit I was completely unprepared for what labour and birth would bring. I had a wonderful client say to me at the time 'It is a job, and you will get it done' and that was so powerful and influenced my mindset greatly.
I wasn't at all frightened. I fully trusted my body to birth this baby for me. It had never let me down. I had never NOT achieved something.
What I didn't realise is how to help my body, that the skills needed for birth could be practiced and perfected, that risk for complications (for pelvic floor in my world) can be somewhat quantified, that knowledge is power and the only shield to trauma.
For a very long time I would have described this birth as traumatic both physically and emotionally. Enough so that the next 2 were planned csections.
I have been unpacking and workshopping how to support rural women through their pregnancy, prepare you for birth and help you recover afterwards since my experience, knowing we NEEDED to do this better.
🎉🎉 And I am so excited to announce I will be releasing my 'BIRTH PREPARATION' course later in the year 🎉🎉
I hope you are as excited as I am
