You Are Capable of More Than You Know: A Long Home Birth & Blissful Postpartum

The Natural Birth Podcast

Show Notes

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Kelsea. Kelsea is a mama of one, from California, USA. She is a photographer, entrepreneur and a devoted mama.

She shares how her mindset shifted dramatically, from fearing childbirth to embracing a natural, unmedicated home birth as a first-time mom.

Her labor lasted 60 hours, pushing her far beyond what she thought possible. Through this journey, she discovered profound personal power, deepened the bond with her partner, and stepped courageously into motherhood.

Despite a long labor and shoulder dystocia, her recovery was lovely and swift, with no tearing. She’s here to share her story to inspire other women to trust their intuition, surrender to the unfolding of labor, and believe in the immense and incredible strength beyond any perceived limitations they might carry.

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?
