The birth you wanted vs. the birth you got ... For so many mums, that gap is filled with disappointment, guilt, and even grief.
In this deeply honest conversation, we share our own birth stories — from placenta previa and breech presentations, to unexpected C-sections and the heavy judgments that followed. We open up about the stigma, the shame, and the heartbreak of a birth that doesn’t go the way you imagined… and how to begin healing from it.
Whether you had an unwanted C-section, felt robbed of the birth you dreamed of, or are struggling to reframe the disappointment — this episode will remind you that you are not alone.
What You’ll Learn
🤍 If you’ve ever felt let down by your birth experience — this conversation is for you. You didn’t fail. And you are not alone.
