02. Birth Story - Her Miracle Baby With Malky T.
I connected with Malky, a Brain Body Birth student and dear friend, who shares the story of her pregnancy after loss and the birth of her miracle baby.
In this conversation, Malky opens up about the fear and anxiety she carried after experiencing miscarriage, and what it was like to move through pregnancy while waiting for something to go wrong. She shares how learning to gently reframe her thoughts, regulate her nervous system, and prepare both mentally and physically helped her move from fear toward hope.
We also talk about choosing a birth setting that aligned with her values, the importance of having the right support around you, and what her labor and birth actually felt likeā€”the beautiful moments, the difficult moments, and everything in between. Her story is a reminder that a positive birth doesn't have to look perfect. It can be messy, emotional, challenging, and still leave you feeling strong, empowered, and deeply transformed.
If you're pregnant after loss, carrying fear into birth, or wondering if it's possible to feel calm even when you're scared, I hope Malky's story reminds you that you don't have to do it alone.

About Toby:
Toby Deutsch created Gentle Beginnings because she saw how many expectant mothers were entering birth feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of what to expect. In a world filled with conflicting advice and fear-based stories, it can be difficult to know what to trust or how to prepare in a way that truly supports both mother and baby.Through her work, Toby focuses on something that is often overlooked in traditional childbirth preparation: the powerful connection between the mind, the nervous system, and birth outcomes.
