Send us a textIn this week's episode, I am chatting with the lovely Victoria from @freetobirth, who shares the stark difference between her two births. One was a planned homebirth that moved to hospital and the other was a planned homebirth that progressed to a freebirth. Victoria candidly shares how her lack of birth preparation affected her ability to cope in her first birth experience and she also didn't understand that she could advocate for herself in the circumstances she was in and decline interventions that were offered to her.Throughout her second pregnancy however, Victoria did a lot more research and felt more empowered to have the birth of her dreams with the support of her partner and doula. These two very different birth experiences has led Victoria to her setting up her group 'Freetobirth', and she also offers antenatal courses to help others succeed at achieving their dream birth at home - if this is what they are planning.
