Episode Details

In this episode, I am chatting with birth activist Michelle Quashie about the very different birth experiences she had with her 4 children.  These include a premature birth via emergency c-section, a crash c-section after haemorrhaging with placenta previa,  a hospital VBAC and a home VBAC with an independent midwife. Michelle shares how her confidence in her own body led her to finally achieve her dream to birth with no intervention. 

Michelle is currently involved in the Childbirth Choices Matter campaign, to get Independent Midwives (IM) insurance to practice, and to help women who cannot afford the serviced of an IM to still be able to access one.
