74. Birth Story: From Hospital to Midwives to Traditional Birth Keepers

I am honored to share the birth story of one of my past students who had an extraordinary amount of growth and revelations of her own power and agency in her pregnancy and birth. This is one of those stories that really gets to the heart of the change I would love to see in our birth culture. 

In this story, you’ll hear my guest share:

• How she navigated a system where she wasn't feeling that her choices were being respected
• How she came to find the strength in herself to become fully aware and responsible for all the choices she made for her birth to have the birth of her dreams 
• Why she chose to not only transfer from a hospital to home birth, but to even opt out of her midwifery care to hire traditional birth keepers

I know if you have been leaving your prenatal visits questioning your choices, feeling like your choices aren’t being heard or respected, if you are questioning whether your birth team is there for what's best for you rather than simply there to follow the standard routine, then I know you’re going to find inspiration in this episode as we glean insight into how to make autonomous choices in birth from an inspiring mother.
