I felt so held and supported throughout the duration of my therapy with Gidget Foundation Australia.
I found pregnancy extremely isolating and all the unknowns made me anxious. With the support I received through Gidget Foundation Australia, I went into the birth relatively confident.
After a traumatic birth of my son, he needed resuscitation and was taken to special care. When my son was 8 weeks postpartum, I realised I was ready to process what had happened so I reach out to Gidget Foundation Australia again. My Gidget Clinician was so supportive.
Two years later, pregnant again, I immediately reconnected with Gidget Foundation Australia to work through my trauma. My Gidget Clinician helped me choose the right obstetrician and through grounding techniques I learnt to advocate for what I needed.
I had the birth I had hoped and dreamed of — immediate skin to skin and a healthy newborn. My journey with Gidget Foundation Australia is one I couldn't have done without, and I am forever grateful.
