There's a Brown Girl in the Ring...

When I thought of doing the Brown Mama Circle, I knew I wanted to amplify the voices of Black and Brown women. I also knew that as a midwife, black woman; and in fact a human being. I would be likely to hear things that would make me feel uncomfortable, challenge me and invoke feelings of empathy because the care or experiences were not always positive.

On this instalment of the Brown Mama Circle, Sabrina; a hypnobirthing practitioner, discusses how her third birth which was intended to be at home took a turn that she wasn't expecting, and how she adjusted to the events that occurred despite her plans. Sabrina also touches on how seemingly small comments from staff effected her experience.

Sabrina as a hypnobirthing therapist, specialises in supporting mothers and families prepare for birth and parenthood. So what impact does it have when your own experience is less than what you may have hoped it would be. How does it feel when you are familiar with the birth environment and "expect" your birth to go a particular way, but it doesn't.
