Do Not Disturb: The Inside Story

My Natural Unmedicated Birth Story: Simona Deifta

Do Not Disturb: The Inside Story

Show Notes

“I ripped out the IV, roared like a wild animal… and my baby flew out.”

In this raw and deeply personal episode of Do Not Disturb, I share my unfiltered birth story. From resisting pressure to induce, to giving birth to a 4.3kg baby without medication, in my own way.

After a medical system filled with fear-based advice and mounting interventions, I chose to listen to her body instead. The result? A powerful, instinctive, and emotional delivery that challenges everything we think we know about birth.

Whether you're pregnant, planning, or just curious, this episode will leave you inspired, informed, and reminded of the power within.
