Bella's Free Birth - the Healing & the Grief (#3 in the series)

In previous episodes with Bella, she shared about her foiled plans for a gentle home birth with her firstborn - a traumatic way to learn some tough lessons about birth space support and energies; about early loss experiences she had been through; about the wild pregnancy she was embarking on; and about her plans for a free birth.

In this interview, the final in the three part series, Bella opens up about her free birth experience - its teachings and its healings. She talks through the unexpected grief she was confronted with in early postpartum, and she shares about the ways she set herself up for a gentle and nourishing beginning for her and her newborn.

Also included in this episode:

• allowing vaginal tears to heal naturally
• sibling involvement at Joey's birth
• tandem breastfeeding
• mother blessing
• water birth
• honouring the placenta
