AND BIOLOGY OF MOTHERHOOD
Birthing the MOTHER
My first son's pregnancy was a beautiful conscious conception. I sincerely thought I was prepared for birth and motherhood. But, after a complicated labour on the eve of the very first lockdown (March 2020), I had a very low sleep-needs baby who couldn’t latch, and an extremely isolated post-partum laced with physical and emotional birth trauma. I realised that we need to rekindle a community-wide understanding of life after pregnancy and the fourth trimester. Mothers are being let down. And, I understand now, that when a mother is let down, so are her children.
My experience propelled me to question our current treatment of the mother-infant dyad and to deeply acknowledge our journey from maiden to mother as a rite of passage. I believe that strong and resilient mothers are the backbone of strong and resilient families and communities.

​In late-2021 we were surprised with a fraternal twin pregnancy. Despite being high risk, and having two babies, the difference in my pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and recovery were profound. It is now my heart-felt privilege to champion other women to optimise their journey through matrescence, heal in their fourth trimester, and thrive in motherhood.
