Reflecting on birth

Dr. Margy Bowes, our resident clinical psychologist, explores both formal and informal ways to reflect on your birth experience. She explains why reflection is important for processing emotions, understanding your experience, and addressing any concerns—especially after a difficult or unexpected birth. Dr. Bowes also discusses common challenges in reflection, signs to be aware of, and when to seek additional support. Alongside this video, you’ll find helpful resources, including a birth reflection template, and you can reach out to our team anytime via the chat box for further support.
