Early Birth

What is early birth?

Early birth is any birth that doesn’t result in a living child. It is a term that pays deep recognition to the experience of pregnant people who by choice or unwillingly give birth to their child early, before life is viable. Miscarriage and Abortion are terms that often elicit a specific response that can feel disempowering or triggering. Whereas Early birth most often acknowledges the reality of the lived experience of the person who has experienced pregnancy and loss.

This is a term I currently use in my work due to the validation I felt in using it through my own experience and the enormous amount of positive feedback I have had from clients.

However, how you wish to refer to your experience is completely your own and I 100% back your choices and will follow suit to your desired language.

Physiological Early Birth (miscarriage)

Physiological early birth (miscarriage) is normal, but it happens far more than we realise or speak about. 1 in 4 pregnancies end with a physiological early birth, and it is estimated to potentially be even more common than reported. Early births have always been a part of our reproductive experience. Understanding this, may or may not offer you some solace in your time of loss, but being seen, understood, and supported in the ways that really matter and are unique to you make a world of difference to your healing journey.

In a world that sweeps early birth under the rug and historically woven a narrative that it’s your fault you’ve experienced this loss, I am here to help change that and make our culture a more educated and compassionate one.

I offer you tailored support if -

  • If your baby passed naturally and was birthed naturally

  • If your baby passed naturally and you require/required medical/surgical assistance

  • If your baby has no heart beat but has not been birthed

Chosen Early Birth (abortion)

The circumstances in which people who become pregnant decide they don’t want to carry those pregnancies to full term are vast. These decisions are your own and should be fully respected and supported. Navigating an early pregnancy and all the physical, emotional, and social elements can be difficult, ending a pregnancy can be harrowing for some, and liberating for others. Wherever you land on that spectrum, I am here for it.

I will walk alongside you, wherever I meet you along your journey, I will inform/ prepare you of options or possibilities, I will create a safe space for you to unravel all your heart and mind, thoughts and feelings, and I can physically be present with you through your early birth, to help you find comfort, solace, and knowing.

I am prepared for the vastness of your expression. My life experiences have put me in the face of death and grieving many times, I have witnessed the beginnings of life and the endings, unborn and lives fully lived.
