Susan is a Life Coach, who birthed in a Melbourne hospital. 

She takes us on a journey describing her birth- from lack of informed consent, induction, to a failed epidural that left her unable to speak, instrumental birth (after a cesarean was called), 3rd degree tear and incontinence. 

She describes how important it was for her to unpack her birth story afterwards to help her understand the incompetence of care and the cascade of intervention that contributed to how her birth unfolded.
