Ash's home, water, lotus births to Roman and Aysha
The Positive Births NZ podcast - A podcast by Helen Bartrom

Categories:
An incredible episode packed full of inspiration and information. Ash was very well prepared, researched and educated in her first pregnancy and describes herself as “headstrong and untouchable”. She knew what she wanted and she was pretty direct in telling her midwife exactly how it was going to be. And from listening to her story it sounds like it paid off! Ash shares with us her textbook home, water, hypno lotus birth of Roman – and how she just completely let go and breathed him into the world in just a few surges. Pretty incredible! We then chat about her 2nd birth journey, the long conception time, the different pregnancy, the intuition – she had this feeling about hospital that she couldn’t shake. Aysha arrived into the world also at home – a different personality leading to a different experience, but still Ash was calm and focussed. Trigger Warning: 7 days after Aysha arrived Ash had a pretty scary experience with a serious hemorrhage. She shares this with us. If you would be triggered with negative feelings listening to this, then can I suggest you stop at 1 hour 8 mins. It’s totally worth listening up until that time because until then, there is so much positivity and inspiration. Everything works out all ok and Ash describes this as a humbling experience, because until then, everything had been almost totally perfect.
