Almost HALF of all women experience birth trauma.
Today, I chat with Audrey Ross of A Joyful Birth about why this might be. Why is it so hard to trust our bodies when it comes to birth? Why are we as a society so scared of birth? How do we break free from the fear and step back into our innate womanly power?
Audrey is a birthkeeper, educator of physiologic birth, and a mother. She went from a breech hospital birth with her first, to a homebirth with licensed midwives with her second baby, to a freebirth, and now she's currently journeying through a wild pregnancy (no medical intervention, no scans, etc.) and planning her second freebirth!
Together we dive into:
- Why the hospital might NOT be the safest place to give birth (failure to progress, anyone?!)
- Pros and cons of homebirth with midwives
- How to protect yourself and your space in pregnancy and birth
- Audrey's choice of wild pregnancy and freebirth
- How to build trust in your body's ability to birth a healthy baby
