Melanie The Midwife’s Birth Stories - A Preterm Home Birth at 36 weeks & a Fast & Furious Second

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Melanie the Midwife from The Great Birth Rebellion.

Mel is a mama of two from Australia and a Private Midwife, a Midwifery Mentor, Researcher and a Podcast host.

I am a huge fan girl of Mel’s and so excited to have her on the podcast. And many of her episodes are a part of the resources for The Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship and I highly recommend it to my clients.

Today Mel shares about her own natural and empowering births.

Both of Mel’s babies were born at home and today she is here to tell you all about it. Starting from the conception of her gentle boy and how he decided to come early, and his long preterm birth journey at home.

I love how Mel can share how you can have a preterm baby at 36 weeks at home with the right knowledge and dedication. She nursed him at home with the kangaroo care model, which is the superior model for all preterm babies and should be offered in all birth settings.

We then dive into the birth of her fiery girl who decided to come a 40 weeks fast and furious just like her.

It’s incredible how our babies show us who they are through the way they are birthed. Another reason to support their unique journey and not interfere with it.

I hope you love this episode as much as I.
