November 3 and 10
5:15 - 7:15 pm
Trans/Q***r Childbirth Class
Online class with Ash Dasqui

For q***r and trans individuals, navigating this system can be even more challenging due to constant misgendering that goes far beyond pronouns, feminized language scattered all throughout the pregnancy/birth process, assumptions about sexuality, gender and family structures, and lack of affirming birth support or resources.

This by-donation two-class series is for gestating folks, birth support folks, people trying to conceive, and birthworkers. Participants will learn together, process pregnancy and birth within a culture of gender, racial and medical-industrial oppression that harmfully feminizes birth, and develop uniquely supportive, often lasting friendships.

Embodied Birth is a framework for navigating pregnancy, birth and postpartum with radical, evidence-based and decolonial tools, knowledge, and support, and doing so as folks’ authentic diverse selves.

Home visits for a a third, fourth, fifth baby can be hilariously hectic. Especially if someone has already had home births before, it’s a lot of “been there done that”.

Even so, it’s always important to touch base and review our plans (and make sure the birth kit isn’t buried under the ping pong table in the basement or something)
As the midwife it’s how I make my own landmark for the next crop of due babies to get ready for 🌾👶🏽👶🏼👶🏾🌾
