My beautiful water birth!
A few years after the birth of C, I was pregnant again. I was expecting another speedy labour and birth – that’s what they say right? Second births are faster? I really wanted to have a water birth this time, and I also wanted continuity of care/carer so as soon as my pregnancy was confirmed by my GP, I had her send off a referral to the MGP (midwifery group practice) at my local public hospital and I contacted them via Facebook and email. I wanted the gold standard in maternity care! I got in! I was so excited …

It’s taken a while, but here’s the story of my first birth! Claire’s surprise homebirth - 2015. I always knew I wanted kids but didn't think much further than that. I didn't think about birth or how these babies would make their way into my arms. I started hearing lots of stories of intervention and birth trauma and thought there must be a better way because I refused to believe that my body was broken or that it wouldn't work the way it was supposed to (and if there were special circumstances I wanted to be fully aware of the situation and my options so that I could make informed decisions about my care rather than simply agreeing to whatever I was told just because it was routine or policy or because someone else thought it was best).

Your body births.
This little phrase popped into my head… it spoke to my desire for us to believe in our body’s ability to birth… Outside of special circumstances, we don’t routinely expect the systems in our body to fail.
