Hello! I would love to hear what your fave part of the ep was. Send me a msg by clicking here :)
In episode 51, Jess from the Northern Territory shares the births of Matilda (hospital), Edith (freebirth) and Angus (freebirth > hospital transfer).
After years of trying, Jess finally became pregnant through IVF with her 1st baby Matilda, and gave birth in 2020 with little insight into the medicalisation of birth. For her second baby, Edith however, she chose to birth at home, however was unable to access homebirth midwifery care where she lives in the Northern Territory, and so had little other options, other than to freebirth. Empowered by this experience, for her third baby Angus, she chose to lean deeper into that experience and have an anxiety free wild pregnancy and planned to have another freebirth.
Whilst we talk about all 3 births in this episode, it is worth highlighting in this intro that during her labour with Angus, she felt that something wasn’t quite right, and so made the decision to transfer to hospital for medical support. Whilst Jess has and will continue to work through the common emotions that this decision evokes, I hope sharing this story with you today, the listener, demonstrates how amazing jess is - how she trusted and listened to her body and in the end, she listened to her intuition and sought help to birth all 4.9kg of baby Angus.
