Putting my life first, with Natasha den Dekker

<p>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.</p><p>This helped Natasha make a careful, considered choice about being childfree, but it was the final disappointment for her traditional Hindu parents who she’s now cut out of her life.</p><p><br>This was an eye-opening conversation about growing up in England as someone of South Asian heritage, being “not brown enough” for some people, and breaking free of your family’s rigid expectations to create a lovely childfree life for yourself.</p><p><br>Read Natasha’s story on We are Childfree: <a href="https://wearechildfree.com/stories/short-stories/0003-natasha-35-uk/">“It was very much a decision thrust upon me at a really young age so it’s probably why I’ve thought about it more than my peers.”</a></p><p>Join your community of childfree cheerleaders and <a href="https://wearechildfree.com/join/">sign up for a We are Childfree membership</a> today!</p>
