Mother of two Jessie returns to share her second pregnancy and birth story - one that beautifully illustrates the power of processing previous birth experiences and the importance of comprehensive preparation for subsequent labours. After what appeared to be a \"textbook\" first birth with daughter Bronte, Jessie discovered she was carrying unprocessed trauma that was creating anxiety about her upcoming second labour. Through the support of a birth trauma counsellor, her trusted doula, and extensive mental preparation, Jessie transformed her relationship with birth and welcomed son Leonis in a profoundly different and healing experience.
