Whilst the birth of Anna Glowacka’s first child was on paper uncomplicated, Anna felt as though she was pushed through a conveyor belt system of care in which she had limited agency or say. When Anna is pregnant with her second child, she is therefore determined to take centre stage of her birth experience. She plans for a home birth and makes a conscious decision to trust her body. And Anna’s body knows exactly what to do when she goes into labour an October morning. This is a wonderful birth story of trusting one’s instinct and body and is testament to that it is possible to have an empowering, amazing birth after a previous difficult experience. With us in the studio is Nyree Wright, midwife and founder of Sage Femme.
