Birth Debriefing

Service Description

This session is designed to help you process and understand your birth experience, especially beneficial after a traumatic or disappointing birth, or when things didn't go as planned. This debriefing session, which can be conducted with or without a review of your hospital notes, typically lasts 1-2 hours. If life-saving measures were needed during your birth, it can be especially traumatic for both you and your partner. Understanding what happened is so important, not just for future pregnancies but for your emotional wellbeing too. I will visit you at home to talk through your birth, answer any questions you have, and help explain why certain things may have happened. If needed, I can also accompany you to the hospital for a birth reflection appointment with an Obstetrician or Consultant Midwife. Having someone by your side to support and advocate for you can make that appointment feel a lot easier. Please contact me for further discussion.
