Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Another Surprise Breech Birth, today by a mama and a sacred birth worker graduate of mine Jessica who chose a wild pregnancy with her 4th baby.Jessica begins her story by sharing about her surprise breech baby at home and how she for the first time had felt a lot of fear before this birth. Her intuition told her this birth would be different from her 3 previous who had all been “easy” natural births.She told me at one of our last mentorship sessions that she felt a lot of fear rising and she went and sat with it, listened and gathered all her strength and resilience and it ended up serving her as she and her husband were faced with a bum instead of a head in birth.If you’re carrying a breech bubba close to your heart then the last two episodes (and all the other breech stories on here) will serve you well in listening to. Breech truly is a variation of normal and we need to normalize them by sharing these stories!If you’re planning a natural birth whether you are having a breech or head down bubba then go and check out my The Natural Birth Blog. I just shared a blog on how to prepare for a natural birth! And there’s more to come! Find it at sacredbirthinternational.com/blog or via the link in the show notes.And if you’re curious about Jessica.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have LindseyLindsey is a mama of 2 from Denver Colorado. She grew up dancing, running, practicing yoga and loving the outdoors. She owns a bakery with her husband Matt, dances professionally and is a hardcore extrovert. Today she shares about her first birth at a 33 yrs old that was set to happen at a birth center. She was eventually transferred to the hospital during labour because the midwife couldn’t get a good read on the baby's heart rate. Lindsey birthed him naturally just 2 hours later. The birth was ok but not what she had wanted. In between babies she did an online holistic doula training and became pregnant again when her son turned 2 but miscarried at 13 weeks. She birthed her 13 week old baby naturally and later got pregnant again 2 months later. During this time she realized that she herself was born unassisted by accident and felt called to try that. She wasn't originally trying to have a wild pregnancy but recalled not learning much at all at the appointments with her son and since she didn't want any scans this time she just never saw anyone because she felt good her whole pregnancy. Her daughter came quickly at 38 weeks on a super blue moon. It was INCREDIBLE. Just Lindsey laboring with her husband who helped her catch her baby.Curious about Lindsey?
