322 Revealing my entire BIRTH STORY! #VisionaryMama
Freddie’s birth was perfect in my eyes. It was the best day of our lives.
But the truth is, it did NOT go as planned
My home birth turned into a 9-1-1 emergency phone call at 11:15PM on Christmas Eve
I ‘transitioned’ in the ambulance and had to hold off from pushing, as the paramedic drove top speed to the hospital
My worry in sharing the 90 minute audio file is simply out of fear of judgement of our birth decisions,
My intention in sharing it is to show others that even if things don’t go ‘according to plan’ it’s probably the Universe conspiring in your favour. And that your intuition is probably right… always. So don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
I’ve had many people ask if I was upset that my ‘plan’ got derailed— and I shared my honest thoughts on this in the podcast episode.
