The Lie We Tell Women About Birth – with Helen Ashfield
A challenging or traumatic birth can leave a deep imprint, one that extends far beyond the early postpartum weeks and can shape how the future feels, too. When thoughts of another pregnancy or birth arise, they often carry a powerful mix of emotions, memories, and questions.
This week, Iâm joined by the wonderful Helen, an incredible mum of 2 who Iâve had the honour of supporting through my YPJ – Your Pregnancy and Postnatal Journey programme. Although Helen prepared for her first birth in all the ways weâre told we âshould,â the experience itself was not close to what she wanted. Determined to approach things differently the next time, she chose to reclaim her power and prepare in a new way. Today, Iâm so grateful to share space with her as she opens up about her journey, with the hope of supporting and guiding others as they navigate birth themselves.
