  • Grateful beyond measure for this podcast

    I started listening to Anna’s podcast in January 2023 when I was 21 weeks pregnant with my first. I hadn’t yet touched the surface of true physiological birth and was simply looking for “natural birth” stories, which in my mind was just giving birth to a baby in the normal way, not by c-section, and natural birth could include epidurals and pitocin. With that mindset, I was a little put off by the first few stories I listened to, but I kept listening because Anna provides a gentle, kind and trus... more

  • So helpful!

    For me, this podcast was so helpful while I was pregnant with my first baby. I knew that I wanted a natural birth and although I wanted a home, I felt that the natural birth was the most important thing for me and that I should also listen to stories of women who birthed in hospitals. I really enjoy how the guests are from all over the world because I feel it gives an accurate understanding of the medical system. I very much recommend this podcast to anyone who is pregnant, regardless of what th... more

  • Frustratingly negative podcast

    I am planning to have a natural birth in the hospital and sought out a podcast to try and prepare for that. Listening to the episode about natural birth in the hospital was frustrating. This woman is extremely negative towards hospital births and will leave you feeling like you basically have no chance of succeeding with a natural hospital births. I’m disappointed in her negativity towards a situation that to her is not “perfect”. Maybe it’s perfect for someone else though.

A Natural Hospital Birth in Australia & a Home Birth in a Red Cabin in the Woods of Sweden
Q: You later chose to birth at home in Sweden with private midwives. Can you walk us through how you found your team and why you chose a home birth this time?
In Sweden, funding for home birth varies by region, so I privately sought experienced midwives who respected my planning and boundaries. I valued their long experience, the space to plan, and the option to birth in a familiar, safe environment with water-based options and a strong, trusted birth space.
A Natural Hospital Birth in Australia & a Home Birth in a Red Cabin in the Woods of Sweden
Q: What led you to start a family during this period, and how did pregnancy unfold while dealing with lockdown in Melbourne?
The decision to grow our family came from a sense of readiness within a close-knit circle; pregnancy was smooth and calm, and lockdown actually helped me to focus on birth preparation and hypnobirthing, shaping a natural, self-directed approach.
Natural Birth Advice for First Time Mothers
Q: What would you tell someone considering home or center births versus hospital birth to support their decision?
Trust your body, seek environments that honor physiology, build strong advocacy and support networks, and be willing to transfer safely if medically required, while keeping the overall focus on empowering, intimate, and mindful birth experiences.
Natural Birth Advice for First Time Mothers
Q: If you had a first-time mama in front of you, what advice would you give for achieving a natural and empowering birth?
Have realistic expectations of many possibilities, stay present with each contraction, and assemble a birth team that truly believes in your plan and supports your vision. Visualize positively, nurture your intuition, and prepare for postpartum recovery as part of the process.
Free Birthing in Northern New South Wales Australia
Q: Can you take us back to becoming pregnant the first time, and was it always obvious for you to have a home birth?
Kate explains that from the start she felt it was her deep purpose to mother and bring life into the world, and after connecting with a local midwife and exploring birth culture, she felt drawn to a home birth with a sense of alignment and continuity of care.
