South African Natasha’s Natural Births in the UK & Australia
Description
Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Natasha
Natasha is a mama of two from South Africa, currently living in Australia.
Her first birth was in London 4 years ago.
She planned to birth at a birth centre but ended up having a water birth in the hospital, as the birth center was full on the night. It was a natural birth but it wasn’t all that Natasha wanted it to be.
So with her second one year ago in Melbourne, Australia, she chose another path.
She started off going through the hospital system, but didn’t feel supported or trusting of the system so she hired a doula.
She then watched the documentary BirthTime and felt sure she didn’t want to birth at the hospital.
So she shifted and chose a private midwife at 28 weeks pregnant.
She ended up giving birth to her baby the night before her due date, in the water, at home with her wonderful birthing team while her first born slept through it all and woke up soon after she birthed the placenta.
That night was absolute magic and she didn’t want it to end.
