The thought of another pregnancy or birth can then bring up a whole new wave of emotions and reflections. This week I am joined by an incredible, mum, Gabbie. I have had the pleasure of supporting Gabbie and her family in my YPJ – my Your Pregnancy and Postnatal Journey programme. Gabbie’s first birth was a traumatic experience despite doing the prep society convinces us is the right thing to do and she decided to take the reins on her next birth, to prepare differently and today I have the privilege of talking to her as she shares her story to help others navigate birth too.
