No one warns you about how much it hurts when you don’t get the care you desperately wanted.
I know the feeling all too well! I wanted a midwife so badly with my third and could picture what it would look like to have a midwife. We've all heard how amazing it is — the slower appointments, the gentle care, the dream come true — and then suddenly you’re told, “Sorry, you didn't get in, we’re full.”
And it feels like something special slipped through your fingers.
If you’re grieving that, I just want you to know… it's okay to be sad and disappointed.
Those thoughts or comments saying, "Well, a healthy baby is what's important anyways." DON'T HELP. Instead they burry our emotions and send us into a spin of all the horrible things we've heard about hospital births.
You’re allowed to want your birth to feel peaceful and supported while also having a healthy baby. You don't need to give up on a beautiful experience just because the plan changed.
If you want the calm, holistic birth but are delivering in a hospital full of unknowns, I've made something just for you!
