Katie Trevathan
Then my beautiful midwife Ellie arrived, and everything shifted. She gave me space while holding me in complete support. She asked what I was feeling and trusted me when I said my baby was close. In that moment, she helped me trust my own instincts, and I felt an overwhelming sense of power. So different from my first birth experience.
Courtney Brown
That first experience taught me that home was where I felt safest and most held. For this birth, I wanted to lean into that sense of trust and continuity — to birth in familiar light, to shower in my own space, to crawl into bed with fresh linen and my baby in my arms.
Eloise
I pulled her up through my legs and stared at her in disbelief! After such a long early labour, the active part felt incredibly fast. I couldn’t believe I’d done it. After preparing for so many years, watching hundreds of videos of women giving birth and picturing exactly how I wanted it to go, here we were, in our lounge room with a baby. Surreal.
