I had the great joy of being a guest on the podcast Remember Your Power with Nicole Harlot. This episode was called “Birthing in Sovereignty” and featured Midwife Audrey, The Homebirth Queen, and myself, Doula Keigha. We discussed how to really take control of your birthing experience and get the birth you want.
Midwife Audrey shared how she supports families and had some very valuable advice about when to advocate for yourself and when to let go and let birth be what it is. The Homebirth Queen had great advice about educating yourself in order to get the birth you want. She brought up the common misconception that if you just take a class and show up at the hospital or arrange a homebirth, that you will get the birth you want. In reality, there is a lot more preparation that goes in to it.
I spoke about how birth such an important event, it really deserves as much preparation and thought as a wedding if not more. The taboo against giving cash to a new parent is really out of sync with the modern needs of today’s parents. This was such an uplifting conversation to have and I was honored to be a part of it.
