Description

Last week I shared an interview with Independent Midwife, Nicky Grace to showcase the wonderful women that are midwives, but also to highlight the challenge that Uk Independent Midwives are facing due to a new ruling that will prevent them from continuing their valuable work. But, to be honest, there is nothing more powerful that sharing a real life story of what the difference an independent midwife can make for a woman. Well the story I'm sharing today IS that story.

Today I'm chatting to Hannah Palamara who is a Birth Photographer and Doula. During my chat Hannah shares her difficult journey that ultimately led to her incredible healing VBAC for her third baby. During our chat, Hannah shares how she came to work as a birth photograher, but we also touch on so many worthwhile topics, including

• how the words you hear during your pregnancy carry so much influence
• how vulnerable you can find yourself without adequate emotional support
• the situations that led to her c-sections
• the value and doing the "inner work" and working on your "stuff"
• how being told "your pelvis is too small to birth a baby" makes you feel - and how utter rubbish it is!
• why she decided to hire an independent midwife
• why she decided to opt for a home birth
• why you should absolutely consider hiring a birth photographer
• what a birth photographer can help you to capture when it comes to your birth

And brilliantly, since my chat with Hannah, she has received an honourable mention for her photography work by the Internation Association of Birth Photograhers; the only person in the UK to be mentioned! Yay! You can see the competition here birthphotographyimagecompetition.com
