Rowan (A Freebirth Story)
My best friend Emily is about to so something some women only dream of. An unassisted free homebirth. She has had 2 homebirths assisted by midwives already. She is also a Doula she even attended the birth of my daughter! (Thank you Emily) She and her Husband have taken courses on unassisted birth. She and her kids also love to watch births. So she is VERY open to her kids about birth.
She is ready to do this on her own terms without instruction, letting her instincts kick in!
This is the 1st part of a 2 part series on unassisted birth. The days leading up to the birth as well as the birth of their precious baby.
The 2nd part will cover the post partum and placenta care as well as a debrief from Emily, Cameron, and I.
I hope you guys enjoy this story! It has been a very healing experience for me.
Be safe. Be smart. Know your rights. Know your options.
Take back birth!
