This photo was taken just a couple of hours before I met Margot earth side. I look confident, relaxed and full to the brim in oxytocin.
This was really the ultimate physiological birth experience and will be one of the most incredible, magnificent moments in my life.
This was my third birth, also a birth during a pandemic lockdown, which made it pretty anxiety filled to the lead up but also meant that the world was very still and quiet đđź
Wouldnât it be a amazing if all birthing women and people could experience their first birth with this kind of confidence and security? Imagine a world where we arenât afraid of birth but welcome it with open arms and realise it as a fulfilling and spiritual event?
This is ultimately where my passion lies in being a birth doula. If every woman, where ever their birth may take place, could enter motherhood with empowerment and knowledge of their innate strength, that would be a pretty wonderful thing.
