Bella's Journey Through Loss & Birth Trauma to a Wild Pregnancy #1

I am so excited that Bella, from @boldlyshe, has so boldly and generously offered to share her pregnancy journey with us as she progresses through it. This is no ordinary pregnancy story either... since the traumatic birth of her daughter, Bella has come to realise that experiencing a wild pregnancy, with no routine medical or midwifery input, and planning a free birth, is what is safest and best for her and her family.

This episode is the first in this series. We'll be checking in with Bella every couple of months, gaining 'real time' insights into the challenges and joys of taking this radically self responsible approach to pregnancy and birth, and one which necessitates full trust in our innate maternal wisdom, instincts and intuition.

Bella is a Healing Birth practitioner and a doula. She views birth as a transformative rite of passage, no matter where or how it takes place. Utilising the skills and knowledge gained in her studies of psychology, energy healing, and spirituality to inform her holistic approach, Bella holds space and ceremony for women to honour this sacred transition.

Topics that we discuss in this episode include:

• Baby loss, including miscarriage, abortion, and a missed miscarriage
• Home to hospital transfer, and the trauma involved
• Ventouse delivery
• Wild pregnancy
• Free birth
