After a fairly traumatic first labour and birth, which resulted in an emergency c section, I felt very nervous about the impending birth of my second child. We were referred to the trauma informed birth planning team who have been wonderful. We first met with a psychologist and then a specialist midwife who has supported us to create a plan that works for us.
I havent yet given birth, but I feel confident that staff will understand my previous experience, respect my wishes and that it will go much better this time. Special thanks to Mhairi who has been a wonderful support through this process.
