Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Natalie.
Natalie is a mama of one from the UK, now living in Thailand.
She is an artist and a property developer, and a lover of meditation and alternative health and living a unique, authentic life.
Natalie found out she was pregnant whilst on a snowboard season in Japan and was initially absolutely terrified at the thought of birth.
She made it her mission to feel confident and calm about her birth by the time her baby arrived. And instead of fear of birth she had a fear of birthing in the hospital and being interfered with.
So she chose a home birth with midwives and a doula.
Her story is a fast and furious birth with a plot twist. And even though her birth wasn’t the undisturbed birth she might have wanted she was so present, trusting in her body and her intuition and managed to birth her baby in just over 5 hours at home in the pool.
She caught her baby by herself and absolutely loves telling her birth story.
