16. A First Time Mum’s (Almost) Festive Freebirth! Andrena's Freebirth Story.
Manage episode 390952441 series 3400660
In this episode we hear from Andrena, a tattoo artist and animal lover who freebirthed her first baby.
Whilst chatting with tattoo clients, Andrena quickly learned that there is often a lack of belief in birth and their bodies for many, many women.
Andrena went in to appointments armed with research and with eyes wide open, working through small baby/big baby appointments, home birth 'top tips' from midwives, and understanding ultrasound options.
We discuss death and taking responsibility for our decisions, and having those hard conversations together before birth.
Andrena describes her orgasm-initiated labour, going through a process of acceptance, a frank description of poo during labour, and unwaivering support from partner Jamie.
We hear in detail about Andrena's placenta birth and dealing with a tear, and navigating midwifery involvement at these points.
