In the 4th episode Michaela, mum to 2 (Willow and Leonardo/Leo) and business owner from the Gold Coast shares her freebirth story (with a doula). Michaela shares how meconimum stained waters impacted her hospital birth with Willow and then how she chose to  freebirth baby Leo ( initially influenced by the inability to access private midwives). She also touches on the negative impacts on birthing women of the misunderstood (and usually fear based) perceptions around birthing at home, especially without a midwife. Michaela's story is one of confidence and immense self belief in her mental and physical power. Links to people/business/resources for this episode: Spinning Babies https://www.spinningbabies.com/ Baby/Belly Mapping info https://www.spinningbabies.com/pregnancy-birth/baby-position/belly-mapping/Hypnobirthing https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1uDp2Labour pain relief tip > 'banksia seed pods' Info on meconimum stained waters/liquor https://midwifethinking.com/2015/01/14/the-curse-of-meconium-stained-liquor/Placenta 'Placenta's and cord blood' from The Midwives Cauldron Podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/5rUyaVnWu7p1MLDZRHp9sd?si=8f2f3dc577224563The seperation phase and why in a physiologocal birth you can nap during labour (aside from just being exhausted!)https://midwifethinking.com/2017/02/03/understanding-and-assessing-labour-progress/ Support the showReach out: www.emdrwithelsie.com.au @birthingathome_apodcast@emdr_with_elsie (EMDR info) [email protected] [email protected]
