Episode 8 - Giving Birth at Home

Mel talks with Aimee Aroha (@aimeearoha) about giving birth at home along the full spectrum from freebirth to homebirth. We discuss the research about homebirth, freebirthing culture and what it means to be fully autonomous and liberated at and by your birth wherever you choose to birth. We discuss authoritative knowledge about birth and why decolonising and demedicalising birth is a rebellious act in a society that values making birth medical.

BIG PODCAST CHANGE OCOURS from episode 75 onwards where Mel takes the reins completely and hosts the podcast solo along with an incredible raft of expert guests.
