    Fast Birth under the Super Full Moon

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Cornelia. Cornelia is a mother of two from Sweden and a midwife, having attended around 50 home births and nearly 400 hospital births. She’s the daughter of my friend and home birth midwife Kirsten who’s a guest teacher for the Swedish midwifery craft training I am starting this summer here in Sweden and it’s such a pleasure to have her on. Her mother being the home birth midwife of the village all her life, her connection to birth began early. At just 8 years old, she witnessed her first birth, and since then she has carried a deep knowing that birth is a natural process of life. For her own births, she chose to have her mother as her midwife. A decision rooted not only in trust of her competence, but in the deep safety of their relationship, something she believes is essential in birth. Her first birth began under a super full moon, starting with gentle, menstrual-like sensations that quickly intensified through the night. As labor unfolded, she turned inward, listening to her body and even checking her own progress with her fingers inside. Her second birth also began during the night. This time, the waves were strong from the very beginning, yet still completely manageable. The final moments were deeply intense, requiring full surrender, and soon after, her baby slipped into her own hands. Both births were fast and her stories of deep trust, instinct, and surrender to the power of birth.

    A Fast Water Birth as an “Older” Mum

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Shiva Shiva is a mom of three and stepmom of one, originally from Turkey and now raising their four boys with her husband in Denver, Colorado. Half Iranian and half Turkish, she’s a bilingual psychotherapist whose work in health psychology, PTSD, perinatal mental health, and parenting is shaped by cultural diversity and a commitment to health equity across communities. She is devoted to raising heart-centered boys, the practice of yoga, and exploring women’s liberation and bodily autonomy in West Asia, threads that powerfully shaped her three physiologic births. This is the second time Shiva guests this podcast and she comes with so much birthing wisdom yet again. Shivas first episode is called Riding the waves and power of birth through mantra and is the 10th most listened to birth story of all time. I hope you’ll enjoy this one as much as her first. This was her third natural birth and her second home birth. The time period of the pregnancy had a good bit of stress and hardship and she was concerned that with the stress and her age, she wouldn't be able to have the birth she wished for. But she decided to trust and nature did what it is good at. It heard the whispering of what she dared to hope for, and it went so smoothly, exactly as she had hoped: a fast, healthy water birth at home witnessed by two of the older brothers.Curious about Shiva?

    The NICU Nurse who Home Birthed

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Casey | Casey is a mama of two from Illinois. As a NICU nurse she’d only ever been exposed to extremely medicalized birth and all of the worst case scenarios. And she was one of the worst sceptics to home birth in the earlier years of her career and was very vocal about it. She’d always assumed that whenever she had her first baby she would go to the hospital, get an epidural, and follow whatever the medical team recommended. However, learning about the cascade of interventions during her first pregnancy led her to choose an epidural free hospital birth for her first, and her continued journey of education, amongst it being this podcast, led her to choose a home birth for her second. The first time she listened to the natural birth podcast she didn’t listen to the full episode as she got so triggered… but the more she learned about natural birth she eventually returned and her love story with this podcast began. If you’re sitting on a natural and positive birth you’d like to share then pop on over to thenaturalbirthpodcast.com and apply to become a guest.I’d love to hear your story!

    Quick & Positive First Time Birth with a Posterior Baby & Water’s Breaking Dramatically

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Stefanie Stefanie is a functional Nutritionist, women’s health and fertility expert and childhood nutrition specialist. She lives in Colorado with her husband, son and is expecting her second child.  Today she comes on to share about her beautiful homebirth.  While her labor followed a pretty non traditional pattern with contractions and her midwife & doula kept doubting how far along she really was, she really knew it was happening.  She went into labor on her due date when her waters dramatically broke on the chiropractor table. Her baby was posterior but turned during labor and overall it was an amazing experience according to Stefanie. Curious about Stefanie?

    Freebirthing after C/S in the UK

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Natali Natali is a mama of two from South Africa who birthed both her babies in the UK. She is a holistic vocal coach and the founder of the Vocal Liberation Method, dedicated to helping individuals awaken their connection to their voices. She nurtures authentic expression and grounded confidence, empowering people to step into their power and express themselves in a way that aligns deeply with their true selves, a connection she believes is essential in both life and birth. After experiencing a traumatic C-section during the COVID years with her first child, Natali embarked on a profound journey of healing and empowerment. Her second birth, a home VBAC freebirth with her daughter Noa, transformed her experience from feeling silenced to embracing her voice, allowing her to feel soft, flowing, and free. This journey reaffirmed her belief that birth is a sacred and transformative rite of passage for every mother. Natali emphasizes that the most meaningful preparation for birth involves sharpening your intuition, surrounding yourself with unwavering support & learning to recognize and use your voice to advocate for yourself This can mean taking up space, speaking uncomfortable truths, or trusting the primal sounds your body wants to express.

    Home Birthing is a part of her Lineage

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have KiataKiata is a mama of 1 and currently 30 weeks pregnant from Tasmania Australia. She’s a social worker who has worked with children and families for many years. Once she became a mother she found her passion for supporting families in parenting and she is now in the process of becoming an aware parenting instructor. For Kiata, trusting birth began long before labour. She grew up knowing home birth as normal as her own mother birthed her and her sister at home. So when it was her turn, it felt like returning to something familiar. Something ancestral.She laboured for 12 hours in water, at home, surrounded by the people she trusted most, her partner, her mother, her sister, and her midwives. That circle of trust held her steady. It allowed her to soften. To open and to surrender to the intensity of birth through fears and doubts.| She birthed her daughter at home in the birth pool surrounded by love and joy and after her baby was born her father also joined and they all soaked in the blissful birth bubble until the early hours of the morning, until her and her partner were tucked into bed with their daughter. The positive birth stories she listened to before her own birth strengthened her belief in herself. They helped her prepare. They helped her trust. And now she shares her story in the hope that it might do the same for someone else.Curious about Kiata?
