Welcome to Safebirth
Safebirth
Workshops for women who have difficult or disturbing memories of giving birth.
Did your baby’s birth meet your expectations?
For some women birth is an incredibly positive experience. However, this is not the case for everyone. Perhaps you have lingering feelings of regret and disappointment about what you experienced.
You may feel sad or frustrated that things didn’t turn out the way you had hoped. It may be years since the birth of your child. But, things which happen when you are in a heightened state of awareness, as you were in childbirth, can make a lasting impression.
Do you feel disappointed? Worried about getting pregnant again?
Every birth is an individual story, but there are some common themes which emerge with disappointing experiences of childbirth. It can be as simple as replaying memories of what happened over in your head and feeling unable to break the loop. Maybe you feel as if you will never fully come to terms with the experience.
Even though the outcome may have been good for the baby and mother, some women feel a deep sense of regret or disappointment about their experience. For others it may be a feeling of fear at becoming pregnant again and having to repeat the experience. For some women a difficult birth experience can hinder natural bonding with the baby.
An Easy Way to Come to Terms with a Difficult Birth - in a Safe, Supportive Environment
We are a group of woman who want to offer additional support and resources for women who are disappointed or distressed after their birth - no matter how long ago it was. We feel that we can make a difference and help women to find closure with their birth, enjoy their children and look forward to any future pregnancies. We believe that birth can and should be a rewarding experience for women. Even if it’s been difficult - it is never too late to recover and find value in our individual experiences.
We run small, affordable workshops which help to reframe the memory of the experience, so that it no longer troubles you. The techniques we use do not re-traumatise and there is no need for you to replay the most unsettling aspects of your experience.
When you come to a Safebirth workshop, you will meet like-minded women in a safe, supportive environment. You will learn simple tools that you can use for the rest of your life to manage your disappointments and difficult emotions.
