The Natural Birth Podcast

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Dyshni.

Dyshni is a social worker, holistic therapist, and girl mom.

Her work is rooted in helping women, especially daughters of immigrants, heal cycles of survival and reconnect with their bodies, intuition, and sense of safety. Becoming a mother deepened that work for her, and her natural birth experiences became a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we feel informed, supported, and connected to ourselves.

Today she shares about her first birth center birth and then hospital birth.

Both were positive, magical, and beautiful experiences and her hope is to inspire as many women as possible that you can love your birth story!

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Liz. Liz is a mama of 3 from the US

She is a sonographer who started out with the standard american medicalized hospital birth story with pitocin, broken waters, epidural, and finally a vacuum birth that really affected her pelvic floor.

For her second, she knew she wanted something different. She educated herself about natural birth and found the natural birth podcast. At this point, she still didn’t feel confident enough to not birth in the hospital, but was determined to have a natural birth.

And even though she was only at the hospital 2 hours before her baby was born, she still had her waters broken with coached pushing guided by the doctor without any reason, which was enough to change the description of her birth from blissful (which she felt at home) to not how she wanted her birth to go.

By her third baby, she was ready to fully commit to a birth with privately practicing midwives in a birth center. And THIS was how birth was meant to be according to Liz.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Paris.
Paris is a mama of one from from Brisbane, Queensland Australia.

She is a lover of health and fitness, do CrossFit for sport, reading, going to the beach, being in nature, love music, concerts and festivals and have always questioned why and how everything is the way that it is and is a bit of a rebel when it comes to conformity.

Today she shares her straight forward home birth at 39 weeks.

She’d prepared herself for a long marathon way after her due date and got a 5hr active labor and birth that ended in a pool birth surrounded by her midwife, partner and mum.

If you want a straight forward home birth story, here it is ;)

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Kaela.
Kaela is a mama of one from Australia.

In today’s episode she shares about her empowering and natural home birth that turned into a hospital transfer as she had a 3rd degree tear.

Hospital transfers and tears are the 2 biggest fears amongst pregnant mamas and especially you who listen to this podcast. So what better way of facing those fears than by listening to a mama who had, according to herself, the most empowering birth even though she had both one of the bigger tears that only around 5% of women get and a hospital transfer from her home birth.

People usually assume I think a natural birth through and through is the be all and end all because I am a huge advocate about educating about natural physiological birth and the benefits of it. But if you’ve listened to me for any length of time you know this is not true, and if you’re a student or mentee of mine you know it even deeper.

I’m all for education in pregnancy and optimizing body, mind and soul for your desired birth outcome which I believe mostly have to do with inner work, facing fears and deeply getting to know your body, baby and having a relationship with your intuition.

Once the first contraction hits you are now to surrender to the great mystery of birth. And a positive birth experience is not necessarily a natural one. Not holding on to a certain outcome for your happiness is so important and trusting that there is wisdom in the way you birth even if it’s not the way you wanted it. We can learn so much about ourselves, our babies, our deep hidden patterns and allow birth to awaken us, transform us and enlighten us instead of feeling like failures if it didn’t end up being exactly as we wished.

I love that Kaela only have positive proud feelings around her home birth where some might have felt the opposite having had a 3rd degree tear and transfer.

I hope her story and how she navigated her tear and transfer is inspiring to you and also might release some fear around these two occurring in your birth.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Sarah!
Sarah is our biggest fan and have listened since the beginning 6 years ago soon, and during this time had 4 babies and always come on the show to tell us all about them and this her fourth and final baby.

This 4th birth was totally different in that it did not follow her usual pattern of having prodromal labour first.

Her fourth baby had his own agenda and came fast and furious. Sarah almost didn’t make it to the birth center where she birthed him only 21 min after they arrived.
