Breaking Birthing Taboos: What They Don’t Tell You feat Kemi Birthjoy | TDA - E798
Description
🎙️ Episode Breakdown:
The team kicked off with intros and laughs, but quickly set the tone: this was going to be a serious conversation.
Special guest Kemi (ex-midwife turned birth keeper, and Ramzi's auntie) returned to drop gems that shook the room.
The convo dismantled one of the biggest myths: that women “must” give birth on their backs. 👀 Kemi explained how this positioning actually benefits doctors more than mothers, and why upright or squatting births are far healthier.
Deep dive into C-sections: the hidden risks, long-term impacts on women’s health, and how the “easy option” narrative hides serious knock-on effects.
Heated debate on birth control, fertility, and fibroids: how hormones, toxins, and even microplastics affect women’s bodies across generations.
Chat participation was on fire - from sharing C-section experiences to asking about PCOS, fibroids, and natural healing alternatives.
The role of men came under the microscope: what does a truly helpful male partner look like during childbirth? From preconception choices (fitness, diet, sperm health) to emotional presence and advocacy in the delivery room. 💯
Generational wisdom dropped: how birth practices, trauma, and environment ripple across multiple generations — shaping resilience, health, and even family legacies.
Headlines hit hard too: Keir Starmer’s Mandelson scandal, Angela Rayner’s property tax drama, Farage’s shady home purchase, Middle East tensions, Netflix’s “Beauty and the Besta” controversy, and the return of the Black Founders program with Sony & Channel 4.
