Sophia - Birth Story: Two births, private and public care, unwanted caesarean section, Trisomy 21, birth trauma, what we can learn as care p

This week we delve into hearing how the care of healthcare workers influences women's decisions and experiences. Spohia is our guest today and walks us through her two pregnancies and births which had incredibly challenging moments. Sophia is vulnerable in explaining the emotional experience following her first caesarean section which was unwanted, and how much she desired a VBAC for her second birth. She takes us through finding out her second baby has Down syndrome and the processes and support they experienced through that time.Sophia is so generous in the way she speaks truthfully and openly about her experiences and its insightful to hear how the information she was given, and not given, changed her outcomes as a birthing woman.We hope you find valuable information within Sophia's story and find a way to bring that into your practice and learning.
