Episode 14: It's Time to Create the Birth YOU Want.

James, a male midwife, joins me on this podcast as we try to put the medicalised birth world to rights.  We chat about where James' desire to become a birthkeeper started and also listen to his ideas about how the birth world could be changed so everyone can get the birth they want and not feel pressured down a particular route. Listen as he tells a birth story that shows how other peoples input can take you down a road that only leads you into a farmers field. Trusting your intuition as a pregnant person is vital and talking to James, we both realised that more than we thought we already did. This is a great podcast for those in the birth world, who I won't call Birthkeepers (because some of you have a few changes to make first), and also for those who are starting or on their own birth journey. Don't let antiquated and wartime reasonings affect your choices, instead, let your gut, your second brain tell you what is right and I promise you, your birth will be a far more peaceful and happy birth. Quotes in this podcast: "I just felt I needed to be in there!" "You're just the delivery boy" "I don't think we're going to make it!" "Stop antiquated teachings in the birth room" "I watched this video and at the beginning, they were having a fun time in the bedroom..."
