Emilie Alexina Podcast

Welcome back! Finally part two is here! In part one, Sam shared the experiences of her two C-section births in midwifery care. This episode describes her healing journey and the births of her next two children which happened at home with a birth attendant. In this episode we cover: - Navigating the trauma of a failed vbac attempt - Realizing the system could not help her have the birth experience she wanted - Realizing there was another way - Firing her midwives and the medical doctor who supported her choices - Going against the flow of culture, taking responsibility for her choices - Working with TBA Billie Harrigan - Having a 4th baby at 38 with the easiest recovery - What she ate to support her body - Breech babies who turn in birth Connect with Sam via her website nurturingbirthsdoula.com Connect with me @emiliealexina on Instagram Email [e-mail] emiliealexina.com *this is not medical advice. Only mothers and doulas talking about their experiences **if you loved your hospital experience that’s wonderful! I think it is possible for women to have the births they want in hospital. Many women are calling out the problems with obstetric and midwifery care and finding alternative ways to have the births they want. Ultimately, all women and our daughters will benefit from diversifying birth culture and services.
