Alice, Maggie & Malachi - C-Section Awareness Month | Induction, emergency c-section, VBAC, homebirth, spontaneous labour, classical c-section, birth trauma, mental health
<p>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. 💛</p><p><br></p><p>&honey </p><p>https://andhoney.store/</p><p><br></p><p>Birth Trauma Support</p><p>Birth Afterthoughts - https://www.cdhb.health.nz/health-services/birth-afterthoughts-clinic/</p><p>Healing Birth - https://www.healingbirth.co.nz/</p><p><br></p>
