Putting my life first, with Natasha den Dekker
Natasha is a British-Asian woman who was born with a bicornate uterus, who found out at 21 that carrying a child to term would be very difficult and dangerous.
This helped Natasha make a careful, considered choice about being childfree, but it was the final disappointment for her traditional Hindu parents who sheâs now cut out of her life.
This was an eye-opening conversation about growing up in England as someone of South Asian heritage, being ânot brown enoughâ for some people, and breaking free of your familyâs rigid expectations to create a lovely childfree life for yourself.
Read Natashaâs story on We are Childfree: âIt was very much a decision thrust upon me at a really young age so itâs probably why Iâve thought about it more than my peers.â
