I actually thought it was going to be nonsense. I couldn’t have been more wrong
It was empowering, I leant that I had so many choices. Birth wasn’t any longer something that just happened to you. After Nancy’s course I felt like I had options and I could help my partner get the birth she wanted and also the birth I didn’t know i had also wanted. Nancy really helped create a non judgmental space where I was free to learn and unlearn. There was so many really worth peices of information that really helped me feel informed.
I actually thought it was going to be nonsense, and I’m so happy that I couldn’t of been more wrong!
After the course I felt ready to take on more responsibility as a birth partner, ready to be more reliable. I found that I was fascinated by the world of birthing and angry that we have moved into such a weird medicated version of something so natural.
The pragmatic approach taught on the course allowed me to stay much more calm. I implemented the B.R.A.I.N acronym as soon as the midwife told me she wanted to take my partner into the hospital, and although I felt out of my depth and scared, just knowing that I could ask more questions and challenge opinions made me feel so much more in control and calm.
Nancy really really helped us, and I know that without her it would have been a much different birth. I’m really grateful to have met her and her super inquisitive mind 💛
