We chat to Imajyn Walker who was categorised as low risk in pregnancy to then deliver her baby who got ‘stuck’ for a significant amount of time resulting in baby Asher’s death in the NICU. Immi is very vocal about shoulder dystocia and how a woman’s intuition should always be considered in birth decisions and outcomes and knowing your rights as it has completely flipped her world upside down. How do you even begin to cope with such a traumatic birth and the loss of your baby?! Immi talks about her grief and what others should know about infant death and the impacts it has had in her life. She offers some words of wisdom to family and friends who don’t know what to do when a loved one loses their baby and why shoulder dystocia needs more attention, awareness and action in pregnancy and birth.
