Mary's Home Birth Story
Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Mary
I thought it fitting for the episode over the Christmas period to have Mary share about her home birth.
The only thing she shares with the OG Mary, mother of Jesus, was that is was a natural birth. Other than that and her name there will be no more similarities to the OG Mary.
The OG Mary is however such a rockstar and shining example of the power and strength of women birthing. Period. The most famous unassisted birth in the world.
Now today’s Mary is a mama on one from the UK.
She has spent time experiencing eastern cultures before living in the Australian outback for several years.
Mary now makes bespoke jewellery, specialising in Australian opal, which she connects with spiritually.
This intention and presence in creating her jewellery flowed into her birth journey as she desired to intuit her way through the magical process rather than bend to the fear-based narratives of western birth practices.
This episode is long and Mary has a lot to share. If you’re here for the birth story then fast forward 50min into the episode.
But if you love a good story and don’t mind listening to us rambling about test and ultrasounds and other things offered in pregnancy then you’re in for a treat.

    Nope, no one believes that. There is no oxygen coming to the baby, from a dead placenta. But there is deadly, bacteria coming to your baby, from a dead, rotting organ

    • @thespiritualmidwitch
      @thespiritualmidwitch 2 місяці тому

      What are you talking about? Did you actually listen to the reel and the episode? No one says oxygen is coming from the placenta once it has separated from the uterus and is out of the body of the mother. I’m astonished at you who feel the need to throw negativity around for no reason. It couldn’t possibly bring you joy. And no one else either. Please keep your uneducated nasty comments to yourself 🙏🏻

    Thank you. This is great. I find the relationship to the sisterhood wound interesting and I love your rebel approach. I had not thought of the Witch wound relating to fear of being seen, but this really makes sense! I'm interested in your perspectives on the midwitch's role in pregnancy loss, or I suppose child loss. How do midwitches support women post pregnancy/child loss? I find that if women had the knowledge, support and perspective you share about the miracle of bringing life into the universe and harnessing the throat chakra, they would feel more equipped to deal with pregnancy, even when they are deciding whether to keep a pregnancy or have children in general. Society needs more positive coverage on pregnancy/child birth and a spiritualized approach.

    I don’t think this is true for every situation though. I felt the most relaxed in certain positions through my whole labor and meditated my baby out in those positions. I didn’t get to the point where I couldn’t handle it either. The ring of fire wasn’t even that bad and pushing for me was exciting and easy. I hollered but not bc of any discomfort, only because it felt good. I think everyone should do what feels best. Experiment but tune in bc it’s your body.

    I believe that waiting until a woman is being asked to be induced or asking for an epidural, is TOO LATE to be discussing risks. They are not listening or hearing anything they say. I'm not saying they shouldn't warn you, I just think it should be discussed WAY before you ever in that situation and women's birth plans should be honored.
