AI summary · From the event listing

This is a peer support group, facilitated by doulas, for women who are planning to journey through pregnancy and birth on their own terms. You are welcome to this group if you are planning a future pregnancy, currently pregnant and planning your birth, or you’ve already experienced an autonomous birth and you’d like to share your story! This group is a peer support group facilitated by doulas who believe that pregnancy and birth are normal bodily functions and that women are the experts on their own bodies. Your questions, fears, excitement and stories are all very welcome. We will be gathering in the nicely air-conditioned community room in Eastlands Asda, Ashton New Road, M11 4BD. The room is right at the back of the store, just knock on the door and we'll let you in. This group is unstructured to allow time and space for whatever women bring to the group and want to take from it. What's your ideal pregnancy/birth/postpartum - what do you really want, in your heart of hearts? What do you imagine when you close your eyes? What, who, and where do you feel drawn to? What is your intuition telling you? How would you give birth if you could wave a magic wand and make it so? And finally, is it possible? If not, why not? What are the obstacles? Could some aspects of it be incorporated?
