1 year and 7 months ago I Freebirthed my child at home, in a room that was deeply held in sacred sisterhood
Freebirth is a practice where women intentionally choose to give birth without a healthcare professional present, as an act of reclaiming autonomy and personal power - living in a system that tells us we don’t have it. We reclaim birth as a natural, physiological process directed from inner wisdom rather than a medical event to be controlled from the outside
Naked, I paced the room like an animal twisting, spiralling into the pain, to some degree it was or****ic - as it could be . .
I felt an unravelling of all the ideas of myself as not capable, as weak, and instead I got to know my most powerful self in those moments
I asked spirit for a 5hr birthing, and that was what I got - it was primal, raw, terrifying and yet totally natural all at the same time
I meet mums all the time, that often tell me they would not trust this choice. Maybe they do not trust their connection with their body - I don’t judge them for this, as the medical environment we live in does not support the attitude of seeing our body as a powerhouse!
Decades of this more patriarchal and mechanical approach to brith has meant that the western mind has become so suspicious of anything not proven by science. Many people might (and did) look at me to say that I was irresponsible in my choice as I was making it (with little support other that that of my best friend and my doulers as went through pregnancy alone . . )
I wouldn’t change my story for the world, as for me this experience was a reclamation of my power, in trust and celebration of my body, soul and being . . A deep turning point of spiritual self knowledge in my life . .
My approach in life, is to be mystical in our science and scientific in our mysticism. I was aware of the important sciece and yet much more importantly, 100% clear in my intuitive body connection
This was not only a personal reclamation but a prayer for the collective - that we might know again the power of the feminine ways
