Alexa had an undisturbed birth under a tree in Aotearoa, New Zeeland.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Alexa

Alexa is a mother of one from Aotearoa, New Zeeland.

Today we will talk about the birth of her dreams, an outdoor undisturbed water birth, under a tree, beneath the stars, following her instincts.


Alexa chose to free birth her baby after years of researching and studying birth, with a midwife as a backup. She had an agreement with her partner that if all felt good for the both of them during the labour and birth they wouldn't call the midwife, as they knew the midwife wasn't comfortable with Alexa having an unassisted birth, but would have wanted to monitor her progress. Something Alexa didn't want.

More and more women choose to free birth, not because they don't want a midwife present but because they don't trust that they will not be interfered with, or the sheer fact that there is no midwives in their area or its to expensive.


Food for thought for the people in power making it difficult or impossible for women to be safely cared for in the way they choose to birth their babies and for the midwives wanting to assist them.

Alexas own empowered birth led her to become a Doula and birth photographer.
