Postnatal/Prenatal Birth Debrief – PAY IT FORWARD

There is the option to ‘pay forward’ a debrief for someone else. This option is there so that women and birthing people who do not have the financial means to get the support they need can access it. For many, a big barrier to seeking support is financial means and this leads to that traumatic experience being left undealt with. Just because a trauma is ignored it doesn’t necessarily mean it goes away, it can continue to show up over and over.

Statistically, women and birthing people of low socio-economic status are more likely to be affected by poor birthing experiences. For this reason, thee option is available for anyone who is in a privileged position to be able to fulfil this need the it is more than welcome.

I have amassed a list of women who have reached out in need and when a paid forward debrief is bought I go to the next person on the list and give it to them.

The choice is yours to remain anonymous or for me to pass on your email address or preferred contact. I really appreciate all those who do pay it forward and I know that the recipients do too.

Following childbirth some people may feel that they have been left with many unanswered questions, which have left them feeling like they may need to speak to someone. For many, there is a need to have their feelings validated and understood.

During this session, i encourage women to discuss what happened during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum periods and explain clinical events and discuss what that person has deemed traumatic in detail. This debrief session can last between 1-2 hours and is a great opportunity to gain clarity and closure.

This debrief can also serve as an opportunity to discuss birth preferences for a subsequent birth following previous birth trauma.  There is no need for you to have your notes, however, if you do have them and would like for us to go through them then that is more than welcome. The debrief serves as opportunity to be heard and for your questions to be answered impartially. Your partner or the person who was with during the birth is more than welcome to also attend as they may have also been affected by the traumatic experience. Should you have any further questions please do email me.
