Episode 14: No consent, just coercion with Charley

This has been one one the hardest collections of birth stories I've ever recorded. It has taken Charley over a year to be able to discuss the 3rd birth in this collection of 3 stories and you must listen to the end. Hear how home-birth teams use home-birth kits as a tool to get into your home, you safe place, and then pressure you into birthing at the hospital. Also feel the power as a child sees birth a relates to her mother "Mummy, you roared as you gave birth". Coercion has been taken to all new levels as Charley relates how she felt she had no instinct left in her and everything had gradually been striped away. What would you reply to "You're baby wouldn't forgive you for that" or "nearly every woman that come in here has induction...accept it"? Charley, who you can find on Instagram as @sidebysidedoulaandtherapy is now a doula and advocating and holding space as the powerful woman she is.
