Gaia's unassisted homebirth to Atley

The Positive Births NZ podcast - A podcast by Helen Bartrom

Categories:

Gaia made a decision to decline routine testing and scanning in her pregnancy and received midwifery care only until 28 weeks. After this point in time she did not have an LMC, but continued her journey in trusting pregnancy, birth, her body and her intuition. Gaia talks about her previous miscarriage experience, how she made her decisions for this pregnancy; what was it that inspired her to freebirth, the lessons she’s learnt along the way, and her spontaneous and fast labour at 39 weeks. Supported by her doula and partner, baby Atley arrived smoothly at home – face up (in a posterior position).  This is another incredibly positive birth story and a story of love, surrender and trust.
