Alison introduces Matilde, a nurse and doula from Sweden, who shared her first pregnancy and birth story. Matilde recounted her journey to pregnancy, including her university studies, marriage, and career, and emphasized her preparation for an unmedicated birth through hypnobirthing. She detailed the onset of her labor and her hospital experience, expressing disappointment with the lack of movement options and a traumatic manual dilation by a midwife, which led to dissociation. However, a shift change brought a supportive midwife who empowered Matilde in her final moments to push her daughter out. Matilde is now preparing for a second birth on her own terms, including a home birth, and advises others to be true to themselves and address past trauma. *mentions sexual trauma My website: https://www.birthlinked.com My IG: doula.alison Matilde: https://birthjam.se/om-oss/matilde/ IG: birthjam Matilde’s book: https://www.bokus.com/bok/9789180940627/orangeriet/?srsltid=AfmBOopxjw3qySfWif7083SJaGve9ioEI5adxfF656A5N4Dv7YLH7_iL&fbclid=PAVERFWAM9RDpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpytEndGTYnPEucpzYWYcowT0-L3-tGyZuw6h53RcmA5dnNXwJOr7Xk9XSURx_aem_VxQ5T_l8j0FHH1XdkRXMig
