Today we chat to Ashley Winning about her 3 birth experiences.

Ashley encountered many challenges being larger bodied and birthing within the hospital system with her first 2 babies. With her first baby, Ashley had a failed induction where her care providers pushed for a caesarean.  Ashley became more informed and set out to have a VBAC with her second baby. Ashley went into labour spontaneously, but her care providers failed to wait for her body to birth on its own timeline- which led to a caesarean, uterine scar, 3.1L bleed and PTSD. 

When Ashley became pregnant with her third baby, she set out to have a homebirth. When Ashley couldn’t find a care provider that aligned with her wishes, she decided to Freebirth her 4.5kg baby at home.
