Laura tells us of her third birth, after a traumatic induction, and an eye opening birth centre experience, she finally realises that free birth is the way for her. We talk about the impact of a trusting partner, and how it feels when your community have faith in you. She also passionately describes the urge to protect herself from any further contact from maternity services, and avoid what she saw as any potential sabotage of her vision and how this, rather than the birth, was the hardest part.
