The Role of Faith | Megan's HBAC

Megan’s first birth was a cesarean for breech presentation, which she describes as a giving of herself and her baby over to the system.

Her strong faith in God helped her find the courage and conviction to trust herself, her baby, and the intelligent design of birth the second time. She birthed her second baby at home, in power.

My apology that the audio quality is quite imperfect, we actually tried to record this twice and this was the best we got! I think her beautiful story is worth hearing even with the imperfections!

Finding the Joy | Gemma’s Freebirth after Cesarean

During labor with her first baby, Gemma’s midwives transferred her from home to the hospital due to her waters being opened “too long.” This experienced ended as it so often does in a coerced, unnecessary surgical birth.

Gemma got extremely clear during her second pregnancy on the kind of support she wanted, and found a radical birth keeper to support her autonomy. She gave birth to her posterior, ten pound son wildly and freely in her own home, with only her partner and family present.

Just four months postpartum at the time of recording, she shares how healing this experience was for her, and the joy she’s found in motherhood. Thank you Gemma, for sharing this beautiful story!
