Embracing the raw and transformative power of wild pregnancy, I walked the path less traveled, serving as my own midwife for the arrival of my third child. This powerful journey is shared in this episode where I transition from a highly medicalized first birth experience to two that honors intuition and a profound connection with the body's natural processes. We discuss how every woman's passage through pregnancy and birth can uniquely chart a course between modern technology and ancestral wisdom.
Our conversation traverses the landscape of prenatal choices, weighing the benefits of traditional healthcare against the trusting embrace of our body's cues. I recount the surprise of conceiving without a menstrual cycle and the truth about LAM (lactation amenorrhea method). We tackle the tough questions about the medical community's reliance on uncertain assessments for labor inductions, and share insights into nurturing health through natural remedies and community-shared knowledge, even as we face late-pregnancy challenges like Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction and managing blood pressure.
As we prepare for the sacred act of childbirth, the value of faith and the strength found in community wisdom become our guiding lights. Through tales of navigating advanced maternal age pregnancies and confronting fears head-on, we champion the beauty of intuition's role in the wild ride of birthing. Join us for a soulful exploration of the untamed terrain of pregnancy and birth, where each story reveals a deeper trust in the Lord and our body's capabilities and an unwavering awe for the miracle of life.
