- Actually listen to the podcast
People need to listen to the podcast not give opinions from a news article that they read. If you listen to the interviews of this they are women’s own personal birth stories. And they are pure gold and inspirational to claim back your own birth and bodily empowerment. If you really claim that this is misinformation, you clearly haven’t listened to this. Look at the stats on hospital births and the horrific birth stories that are all around to actually realise something has to change. These ladi... more

Dangerous misinformation that has led to deaths of babies and serious disabilities, as well as serious maternal health complications
Apple Podcasts1Becca248United Kingdom3 months ago - Guilt disguised as help
Most of this podcast is guilting women for needing medical assistance in pregnancy and birth, disguised as care or helpful information. It is not. Emilee Saldaya’s own birthing experiences are incongruous with the information she shares on the podcast. This is just grift.

Absolutely jaw dropping that these women think they are helping others. How they think they know better is totally beyond me. No baby should die due to the ego and pride of vulnerable and brainwashed mothers who listen to this.
No one thanks their parent when they grow up for the way they came into this world be it c section, natural or ‘free birth’.
Apple Podcasts1ArabianMeerkatUnited Kingdom4 months ago - Wildbirthing in Subsaharan Africa
Oh how jealous we should be! How we should strive to be like the mothers there! Women in Subsaharan Africa free birth as their way of life. Of course, there is a shortage of healthcare workers, emergency care and they have to walk hours to take a bus for hours to get care during a difficult labor. So they often can’t get care, even if they wanted to give up the amazing opportunity to squat in their fields and deliver their infants on the rich African soil. Sure, maternal morbidity there is abou... more
