My Body My Birth story
My first baby arrived at 34 weeks, five weeks earlier than anyone expected. I had planned a home birth and felt ready for that. What I wasn't ready for was the hospital. I had no contingency plan, no idea what questions to ask, and no real understanding of what was happening around me. I just went along with it.
Second time around I was more prepared, but I still hadn't built a backup plan. And that stayed with me.
I have always been drawn to birth. To the power of it, the complexity of it, the way it can leave a woman feeling either completely herself or completely lost depending on how supported and informed she felt in those moments. I have always felt a natural calling to be working in this space and after my second birth I knew exactly what was missing.
Something tangible. Something you could pick up with your partner on the couch, not just scroll through alone at midnight. Something that asked the questions you didn't know to ask and made the conversations feel less daunting and more like something you actually wanted to have.
So I made it.
I am a birth obsessed mum of two, currently studying an international childbirth education certificate, and My Body My Birth is my whole heart. I hope these cards give you what I didn't have, a plan, a voice, and the confidence to use it.
