💨 Abstract

Dee-Dee Bailey, who had a traumatic birth experience and a subsequent hysterectomy, gave up her daughter Laila for adoption to her brother James and his partner Danny. Laila returned to Dee-Dee's life after James and Danny split up, causing Dee-Dee to struggle with her feelings. She finds it emotionally challenging to be around Laila, and faces additional stress when she agrees to interview about her maternity experiences and the racism she encountered.
