Birthing at Home: A Podcast
A healing and magical freebirth after a very traumatic c-section in remote QLD || Eliza's birth of Lola at home (Queensland)
** We discuss trauma and obstetric violence in this episode**
This is episode 74 and it’s shared by Eliza living on the land of the Western Kangoulu peoples.
She shares with us her traumatic c-section in remote QLD, and how for her 2nd baby, initially influenced by lack of access to any other supported birth model, she chose to freebirth and had an extremely healing and magical VBAC. Thanks to Eliza for being so open and seeing the value in story sharing.
We do talk about traumatic events and obstetric violence in this episode so please be mindful of this when listening.
