Rachel and Rosa’s Birth Story Birth stories are so important. Humans learn through story. They help us imagine what it might be like for us, to know what’s possible, to visualise an experience, to work out what’s right for us… and so much more. All birth stories are valid and all births are different. But…
I work with tens of pregnant women every month, as a doula in Bristol, a Hypnobirthing teacher and a pregnancy yoga facilitator, and water birth is consistently something many of them are interested in exploring.
