thanks so much for your honesty in this. i’m having a planned caesarean in January due to a health condition and I have felt a little out of tune with the whole thing. I have dismissed it as a proper birth. your descriptions of how you felt and the techniques you used to approach your birth are exactly what I want to feel so i’m going to use the rest of my time to change my mindset and get some hypnobirthing advice. I got really emotional reading about your birth as it is exactly what I want for me and my family. thank you for sharing and for inspiring me to want better for myself. 🩷🩷🩷

Hi Ally 💗 Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your little love! My heart goes out to you. I recall feeling so disconnected at first too, but as I know you've read, the whole experience was ultimately incredible and I felt SO connected to the birth and Luca's entry into the world. I hope that some of the points, including hypnobirthing if it feels like a good fit for you, can help you to embrace this moment in time. I think it's worth knowing too that you always have choices, and there is help out there, it is so worth asking! Sending so so much love and wishing you and your family a beautiful experience 💗 x
