The Business Woman who Successfully Home Birthed with Meconium Stained Waters
The Natural Birth PodcastShow Notes
Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Elena Elena is a mama of one from the UK. She is an entrepreneur and a founder of two companies, and someone who changed her mind about home birth at 37 weeks pregnant.
She’d spent most of her pregnancy assuming she’d be in a birth centre. Then something changed which she shares about in this episode and she decided to birth at home. By the time labour started, she was at home, in a pool, comb in hand, positive affirmations stuck to the wall in front of her. When her waters broke it was filled with meconium, the pressure to transfer was real. The medical system pulls hard in those moments. Elena held her ground anyway - not because she was reckless, but because she had done the work, she trusted her body, and she believed her baby was strong. This is the story that unfolds. She’s here to share what that it actually felt like, her fears, the preparation, the moments where it could have gone a different way, and why she’d do it all again at home.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Jaime. Jaime is a mama of one from the central coast of NSW, Australia. After being on the pill since the age of 15, when she got off it at the age of 21she didn’t get her period back for over a year. When seeking the conventional help the answer was, “it has nothing to do with the pill and the answer is to get back on it” Like WTF? Again in her late twenties she got back off it but this time seeked help from a naturopath and a TCM practitioner and ended up getting her period back after 3 months. After marrying her husband they both thought they didn’t want babies, but as her 30s hit that changed. And after having a fear of the pain of birth she prepared herself with coping strategies through listening to positive natural birth stories as well as diving deep into learning about natural birth and ended up coping with constant pain without fear and having her empowering natural home water birth with her husband Cian, her midwife and best friend by her side.Want to work with Anna or join The Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship?
