BECKHAMS BIRTH] Because it was still its own kind of BEAUTIFUL even when it was hidden within the most unexpected of events and places.
Worldwide, one in 10 babies are born early – 27,000+ each year in Australia alone - crazy right!? Our unexpected 2 months early welcoming of our second son Becks where we rode the prem-family rollercoaster, with all of its ups and downs, a bumpy-beautiful-chaotic ride - though one that I continue to be empowered from and grateful for, almost 5 years to the day.
This matrescence journey of mine gave me a perspective that perhaps cannot be fully made sense unless lived through. It taught me to appreciate the littlest of things, the tiniest of milestones down to the milligram, the wins, the losses, as I watched in awe and adoration as our baby survived, fought, grew, succeeded and thrived despite it the odds. And gratitude for a handful of serious earth angels who took risks to save our boys life and cared for our miracle, our gratitude will always go beyond what words can say.
I am a PROUD prem-mama having healed and grown from my past pregnancies and birth trauma experiences. I am Beckham Jude’s Mama, what an amazing gift, an honour, a privilege to be chosen to mother this fierce little boy, as well as his big brother and more recently his baby sister in heaven.
To all you prem parents out there who are struggling or have struggled, adapted and overcome, my family’s hearts are with yours - united. I make full sense of the worry, the angst, the pain, the light, the happiness. These little warriors enter the world fighting. They are so unbelievably strong resilient souls, and make US stronger for knowing them!!
We all have a story, my pregnancies and births for all 3 of my children weren’t always a fairytale, though I DO firmly believe in silver livings and I infinitely know each one SERVED me as a mother, a woman, as a family unit and also as the leader I am today.
I encourage the sheer necessity for community & support pre, during and post - irrespective of an individuals experience.
