TELL US YOUR
BIRTH STORY

Did you have a positive experience or was it traumatic? Did it go to plan or was it completely unexpected? Did you fulfil any or all of your birth preferences? Where did you give birth – at home, in a birth centre, or at the hospital? Did you have a vaginal birth, a c-section, or a VBAC? We invite you to share all of the details so we can publish more real, raw stories of birthing in Aotearoa – New Zealand with other parents and birthing people. We look forward to reading yours.

Please check all that apply to your story
