“We chose to have our first baby at Royal Women’s Hospital and what started with many unknowns and overwhelm in a system that we were unfamiliar with, instead became an experience of empowerment thanks to the support of our midwife Marita and the MAMA team throughout our pregnancy and during the birth of our girl.”

“I was almost into my third trimester when we decided to have a homebirth. Being our first baby and not knowing what to expect, this was a difficult decision for us, particularly with homebirths still feeling taboo in modern society. Once we made our decision, I was confident in it, and it felt right to follow my gut.”

“Preparing for my VBAC initiated a healing process around my first birth. I learnt that it wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t achieve the natural birth I wanted. I connected with the most supportive women to help me mend my broken heart. By the time my baby was due, I was in a grateful state of mind.”

“ The full body relief I felt when I heard [midwife] Ellie’s voice is something I will never forget. While I felt so safe and in control throughout my whole labour I so desperately wanted Ellie there when I met my baby. “

“Harry was born at 42 weeks, despite the pressure from the hospital to induce labour. I trusted my body and Veronica. I was determined to have a homebirth in a birthing pool”.

How we met our beautiful Isla Scout 💕The birth was everything I had hoped for and more (minus the lack of water haha)! For the second time I had a magical and empowering birth at home that left me inspired and in awe of how amazing the human body is.
