First time mum chooses wild pregnancy & freebirth || Bronnie's birth of Abigail at home (Victoria)

Birthing at Home: A Podcast

What did you think?

Episode 38 is a first time mum freebirth story from Bronnie in Melbourne. Bronnie shares how she grew up petrified to be pregnant but after a lot of self discovery and unlearning, she set her intention to freebirth her first baby. In this episode we talk about the mental and emotional work that goes into planning a freebirth, healing, media shaming of social media freebirth communities, and then her quick, intense birth with baby Abi, and how birth has changed her . I’m also excited to say that Bonnie also shares her placenta smoothie recipe!
