Nichola's Story

LD's Experience

Geraldine's Story

I gave birth to my daughter in June 2020 in the mist of the whole Covid-19 lockdown

"They said to me 'You haven’t been taking your pain killers.'"

2019 - My birth experience was...traumatic.

The M-BRRACE UK 2018 report stated that Black women are 5x more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth and in the postnatal period than White women and Asian women are twice as likely to die.

I spoke to Simone and Mark Roberts in July 2020 during the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. Simone and Mark make all of their decisions around birth and parenthood as a unit and their children play a huge part in their empowered birth experiences. We discussed their homebirth plan during C-19 and their previous homebirth experience in 2017.

Did you feel listened to? Yes – to a point – had to be firm.

During my first pregnancy, while commencing the final year of my third year of studies, I experienced a deterioration with my mental health.

This was my third birth and it was horrible and traumatic
