from The Birth Chapter · host Mikaelah and Jess

In honour of C-Section Awareness Month, we’re sharing Alice’s two wild birth stories, very different from each other but both full of unexpected twists! Her first birth ended in an emergency c-section without her husband by her side. Her second, an attempted HBAC, so close to her dream goal but eventually led to a rare classical c-section. Alice speaks candidly about how these experiences impacted her, including the birth trauma and mental health challenges that followed. This one's a roller coaster and one that so many will relate to. We’re so grateful to Alice for sharing. 💛&honey https://andhoney.store/Birth Trauma SupportBirth Afterthoughts - https://www.cdhb.health.nz/health-services/birth-afterthoughts-clinic/Healing Birth - https://www.healingbirth.co.nz/
