Spiraling Baby Down with Dancer Alexandra

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Alexandra.

Alexandra is a mama of one from California.

She runs a farm with her partner and has been a performing dance artist for the last 10 years.

Alexandra comes from an area where the home birth movement was big back in the 70’s and 80’s. One of her brother’s was home birthed when she was three and a half years old and she was also present for the home birth to hospital transfer of another brother's birth at the age of thirteen. Coming out of this challenging birth a bit traumatized, she internalized fear around birth.

However years later, after a miscarriage she found her calling to birth work and took a weekend doula course. This class, with an experienced, wise doula, opened her eyes to the flaws of the medical system and the standard cascade of interventions which completely changed her views on birth.

When she became pregnant again she knew she wanted to birth naturally. She wanted to be as prepared as possible for her own initiation and rite of passage into motherhood so she dedicated her free time to reading countless books and listening to birth stories, and she became very informed.

Due to there being no home birth midwives in her area currently she chose a birth center 2hrs away.

And her birth ended up being a fiery one where she spiraled her baby down in the car on the way to the birth center and almost gave birth to her daughter on the parking lot outside the center.
