  • In this episode, I get to share with you Christy's phenomenal birth stories.

    Christy is a mother of 10 children, who has had 7 Caesarean births and 3 homebirths.

    She had fairly positive c-sections births with her first 6 children, and found on the 7th her Dr was obligated to refer Christy to another OBGYN as she was deemed "high risk" due to hospital policy.

    She found this quite challenging and was told she had placenta accreta multiple times after ultrasounds. When she birthed her baby by c-section and there was no placenta accreta she felt like she was done with having babies.

    Although she wasn't quite done and found herself pregnant with baby number 8. She searched high and low for support this time and found herself eventually connecting with a homebirth midwife, planning a VBAC.

    Listen to this episode to hear some of the challenges Christy overcame to birth her babies in a way she felt comfortable and happy to.

    Along with some important conversations about what can happen in the birth journey.

  • In this episode, we meet, Kara, a mother of two.

    Kara had both of her children in a same-sex relationship with her partner.

    Her first pregnancy was an IVF baby in 2019 with a planned hospital birth. The pregnancy was fairly low-key.

    Kara experienced prodrominal labour for a few days and that was quite challenging and exhausting for her.

    She had a couple of nights of no sleep and it was quite a painful experience. She went into the hospital and they checked her and said that there was no cervix it was up high and closed so she was sent home.

    She eventually went back into the hospital and experienced a painful cascade of interventions and chose to have a c-section.

    After that birth, she moved from Alice Springs to the Gold Coast. They had the challenge of having to get their embryos from South Australia shipped to the Gold Coast. Due to her partner being aboriginal, she was able to be part of an MGP programme and plan a birth centre birth with her VBAC baby.

    She hired a doula and started prenatal yoga. During that time she connected with a new doula and ended the contract with the first doula and hired one she felt more aligned with.

    She didn't plan on a freebirth but was subconsciously manifesting a freebirth. She asked her doula if she would support her and she received a yes - still planning a birth centre birth she found herself having an unplanned freebirth.

    To hear all the interesting gold nuggets along the way come and listen to Kara's amazing birth stories.

  • In this episode, I share a little bit of my take on the phrase - it takes a village to raise a baby/ mother.

    I believe it takes a village to raise a mother, and unfortunately in this modern day world many of us have lost our village.

    So it's extra important for us to be vigilant, and mindful, and take steps each day to create our own circle of support.

    I share some ways you can create your circle of support in your homebirth journey with some low-cost, free, and higher-cost supports available.

    It's time to think outside the box, get on saving for your dream team, and create your ideal life and experience.

  • In this episode, I share with you some ways you can tune into your intuition.

    Often we find it hard to know when we are having intuition, or something that is showing as a fear disguised as intuition.

    I'm going to share the difference between fears and intuition, and how you can navigate the difference between the two and tap into your intuition - so when it comes time to birth your baby you are able to listen to within.

  • In this episode, I share some birth positions that may be helpful during your VBAC Homebirth, and I share my ideas on birth positions and the big focus I see happening in the birth world.

    What if I told you that you don't need to know all of the birth positions to birth your baby at home?

    What if I told you that it could in some ways be counter intuitive to be in your mind trying to remember what position you need to be in during labour.

    What if I told you that you don't need someone directing your body on what position to be in during labour?

    What if I told you that you have been sold a lie that your body won't work if you don't do optimal baby position, and get into all sorts of interesting and fun positions to birth your baby?

    I don't want to ruffle to many feathers as I know so many people are devout believes of spreading the message that you must be coached into positions to birth your baby more easily, or more quickly.

    Which in a hospital setting I agree, this is probably one of the best ways to birth.

    In a homebirth though, it may be the easiest and safest to birth your baby without disruption, without having to remember the best positions, or maneuvers to get into for birth and stay in your birthing mind.

    It may be best for everyone in your space to stand back and allow the process to completely happen, and only if you ask for support for options to be provided.

    If this sounds interesting, then this episode may be one that just makes you think twice about what you really need during your birth... and birthworkers - your mind might just explode! (hopefully with joy, and not rage).

  • In this episode, I talk about how to start open conversations and communicate your expectations for your birth with your birth team.

    Being able to communicate effectively with your birth team is an important skill and requirement for any team to work together.

    If you don't feel safe to share your feelings, thoughts or communicate your needs this could lead to distrust, assumptions and you could start to create walls between you and your birth team.

    While I don't feel it should be the womans responsibility to initiate this conversation and many people working in this space providing support would have these conversation through your pregnancy - I'm noticing that many do now.

    This is such a valuable skill to have during your pregnancy and birth, but one that will also support you through life.

    One of the fundemental things that makes us different to animals is our ability to speak with thousands of words - and yet, so many people are afraid to share their feelings, thoughts or expectations, afraid of causing conflict or hurting someone.

    This is a skill I have been working on, and one I encourage and invite you to work on to.

  • In this episode, I speak with Julz and she shared with me her story of a beautiful, supported rural HBAC.

    It took Julz over 12 months to conceive her first baby, and while she was going through that journey she was working in a corporate job.

    It was fairly normalised to book in with an OBGYN during pregnancy for care. She didn't put much consideration into birth, as a first time mother, like so many first time mothers she was more interested in the pram and organising baby things.

    Julz was at the park with her partner swinging on a swing when her waters broke. She ended up going into hospital that night to start an induction process the next morning, although labour started on it's own.

    Labour was pretty intense for Julz, and she didn't have any mindset support like breathwork, positive affirmations, deep breathing or meditation to help her work through this in a positive way.

    She was given Fentanyl to help with the pain Intravenously. She was mostly sitting on the bed, trying to work through the pain while being supported with the Fentanyl.

    After coached pushing for three hours the OBGYN called it that she needed to go off to surgery, and her first baby was born via surgical birth.

    When she was pregnant with her next baby she had planned to have a VBAC and went back to the same hospital as where she had her first baby.

    She also had a subchorionic hematoma and some bleeding.

    More information on subchorionic hematoma:A subchorionic hematoma (also called subchorionic hemorrhage or subchorionic bleeding) is when blood forms between the wall of your uterus and the chorionic membrane during pregnancy. The chorionic membrane is the outermost layer separating your baby’s amniotic sac from the wall of your uterus. It can be associated with vaginal bleeding during pregnancy. A subchorionic hematoma can shrink in size and resolve on its own without treatment. In some cases, your healthcare provider will recommend a plan for follow-up after assessing the hematoma. It rarely causes serious health complications.Her younger child also got slapped cheek during the early part of her pregnancy which can cause infant anemia which would require a transfusion into the fetus before birth. Although, it only impact 1% and 5% of women who have the infection.

    During a scan the man doing the scan told Julz she would need to speak to her OBGYN because he was the "boss" of what she could do in her pregnancy and boss which didn't sit right for Julz.

    She was speaking to a friend who had an incredible homebirth experience and she talked to her about her last birth and asked her what happened to her birth. She started listening to Rhea Dempsey on podcasts and her book Birth with Confidence and Dr Sarah Buckley and her incredible work.

    Julz started to understand the importance of hormones and functional, physiological pain that Rhea talks about.

    This planted the seed of homebirth, although she didn't believe this would be an option for her. She called over 10 different private midwives who would send her in different directions, in different forums.

    She called a midwife to just let her know that she felt she was too far away and after a conversation with this midwife she felt really connected and safe with that midwife. She asked her what happened in her last birth, which was a game changer for Julz. No one had ever really asked her about that birth.

    Julz formed a beautiful, supportive relationship with her midwife that made her feel seen, safe and supported and she went on to have a sacred birth at home the way she had wanted.

    You can listen to this gorgeous story to hear all the juicy details.

  • In this episode, I share my experiences with people pleasers after living a life of people pleasing and working with people pleasers.

    Time and time again I hear many of the same challenges come up from women who identify as people pleasers.

    They usually come across as such caring and loving women (and they are), often thinking about other people first... even to their own detriment.

    It's time to reclaim your homebirth journey and take the lead. Do not allow others to push their way into your birth space or allow guilt to take over your choices moving forward.

    Come and learn more about people pleasers and how you can set some boundaries moving forward.

  • In this episode, I share some ways you can get yourself into the best space to be able to handle the pain of birth.

    Pain is one of the biggest fears women have when it comes to birthing at home (without all the drugs). I worried how I would go after having an epidural with my second in a hospital.
    When I did have my freebirth at home, the pain was intense and strong for the first few hours - which really caught me by surprise.
    I am so grateful that I had done a lot of prep work to get me to a space of being able to navigate through that, and find a way to calm and peace (and sometimes pleasure throughout the birth experience).
    And you can also set yourself up to be in the space to handle the pain of birth!
    Listen to this podcast episode where I share my tips to help you set yourself up.

  • In this podcast episode, I share some of my insights and views on this craze of making sure your baby is in the "optimal position" for birth.

    It might, or might not surprise you to learn that I don't believe in putting much time and effort into making sure your baby is in the optimal birthing position.

    I believe that women are capable birthing goddesses, and that majority of women with birth without coaching, being told to move into positions, or needing to even know what "positions" to be in.

    I think planning a homebirth can be a lot easier, and less expensive when you don't have to believe that you need to control all aspects of that birth (and news flash - you and your provider have less control than you may think).

  • In this episode, I share some of the key things you will need to know or consider to prepare yourself to freebirth.

    1. Educate Yourself Extensively: Podcast, books, courses, being part of a program like mine (6 - Month of Group Mentoring) where you can get guided supportMy book recommendation and quick guide is: Home Birth On Your Own Terms: A How-To Guide For Birthing Unassisted by Heather Baker.

    If you are trying to purchase in Australia send me a DM on Instagram or email me and I will let you know where you can access a copy.

    2. Mindset, mindset, Mindset

    Mindset is one of the biggest ways to talk yourself out of birth at home, or a freebirth, with fears popping up, old birth stories that need answering popping up from time to time causing doubt or worry, or not being prepared in a positive way to handle the pain of labour.

    You want to have a strong foundation and work through all of those challenges before you go into birth with your homebirth/ freebirth baby. Starting with a strong foundation gives you the best chance at success for a homebirth.

    3. Create a Birth Plan and Emergency Plan: Going through the process of creating a birth and transfer plan means that you understand some of the interventions available and how to accept or decline them understanding the path that those choices could lead to. If you are not sure where to start with this, you could do this with your birth doula, midwife (if planning an assisted birth) or book in a session with me to create this plan for yourself.

    4. Gather Necessary Supplies: I referred to a previous podcast episode that takes you through all the supplies you could want and need for a freebirth. You can listen to this podcast episode here.
