Kaela's Positive Home Birth Story with a 3rd degree Tear & Transfer

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Kaela.

Kaela is a mama of one from Australia.

In today’s episode she shares about her empowering and natural home birth that turned into a hospital transfer as she had a 3rd degree tear.

Hospital transfers and tears are the 2 biggest fears amongst pregnant mamas and especially you who listen to this podcast. So what better way of facing those fears than by listening to a mama who had, according to herself, the most empowering birth even though she had both one of the bigger tears that only around 5% of women get and a hospital transfer from her home birth.

People usually assume I think a natural birth through and through is the be all and end all because I am a huge advocate about educating about natural physiological birth and the benefits of it. But if you’ve listened to me for any length of time you know this is not true, and if you’re a student or mentee of mine you know it even deeper.

I’m all for education in pregnancy and optimizing body, mind and soul for your desired birth outcome which I believe mostly have to do with inner work, facing fears and deeply getting to know your body, baby and having a relationship with your intuition.

Once the first contraction hits you are now to surrender to the great mystery of birth. And a positive birth experience is not necessarily a natural one. Not holding on to a certain outcome for your happiness is so important and trusting that there is wisdom in the way you birth even if it’s not the way you wanted it. We can learn so much about ourselves, our babies, our deep hidden patterns and allow birth to awaken us, transform us and enlighten us instead of feeling like failures if it didn’t end up being exactly as we wished.

I love that Kaela only have positive proud feelings around her home birth where some might have felt the opposite having had a 3rd degree tear and transfer.

I hope her story and how she navigated her tear and transfer is inspiring to you and also might release some fear around these two occurring in your birth.
