Amanda's Journey From Trauma to Healing

Prior to conceiving Charlee, Amanda had struggled with infertility, miscarriage and the devastating suicide of her brother. Although her pregnancy was mostly positive, nearing her due date, Amanda developed pre-eclampsia and needed to be hospitalised. She was determined not to be induced and spent 2 weeks being monitored and on bed rest. When she did finally go into labour, her experience became traumatic. This was largely due to short staffing, meaning that Amanda wasn't being shown the care, patience and support she needed to feel safe.

Following her traumatic first birth, Amanda sought support via me and a counsellor, to find some healing. When she became pregnant again, she knew what she needed in order to have a safe and positive experience.
