    Listening to this podcast was an important part of my own journey to freebirth and wild pregnancy. Being able to witness others’ positive journeys was exactly what I needed. Thank you for also having me on to then share my own positive birth story in the hopes that I can also positively impact someone else.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jenna Found Healing Through Birth Photography
Q: So when you're finally home, how you felt about this birth experience?
Horrible. I truly believed in the first two weeks of my son's life that my husband and I would not be able to stay married.
Jenna Found Healing Through Birth Photography
Q: How did that procedure go for you?
Because I had had the regular epidural for a vaginal birth and not the spinal tap, I think that I was not numbed to the point that I should have been for a surgery. I was able to feel a lot of the C-section.
Jenna Found Healing Through Birth Photography
Q: Is there anything else about your pregnancy experience or your prenatal care... that's relevant to your story as we get into the birth story?
I had a very normal pregnancy... I took Prozac throughout my pregnancy and there was a point during my pregnancy where I felt like maybe the risks outweighed the benefits.
She Worked in Obstetrics, But Chose Homebirth
Q: Can you share anything about keeping your mindset positive or like mentally getting through that 50 hours?
She leaned on her husband and doula for grounding, processed anxiety with her therapist, and focused on the understanding that normal looks like many different things.
She Worked in Obstetrics, But Chose Homebirth
Q: Can you speak to any unlearning that you feel like you had to do to allow birth to unfold as a process at home?
Alicia had to meditate on separating her personal experiences with what she knew could go wrong in emergency medicine, focusing on being in tune with her body and baby.
