Episode Synopsis "Ally Aura: The Powerful Freebirth of Freya Terra"

This freebirth story is a really powerful and important one to take the time to listen to. Ally's intuition and her deep connection with her baby guided her through a birth journey that strayed pretty far outside what the medical birthing system considers to be "normal" and would almost definitely have been intervened with quite heavily in a hospital setting. In births like this in hospital, women are left feeling like their bodies were incapable and failed them, but because Ally took full responsibility for her birth experience and, understanding the risks and guided by intuition, decided to stay home all the way through a 58 hour labour, she birthed Freya in her power and without intervention. This story reinforced my trust in birth and in the idea that the mother should be looked to as the authority on what's happening with her baby inside her. It also brings up even more questions for me around how narrow the range of what's considered "normal" is in hospital, and the mind-blowing amount of intervention happening that is not, in the true sense of the word, necessary.   You can connect with Ally on Instagram at @ally_aura
