The Free Birth Podcast

I sit down this week with the smartest woman I know, and one of my dearest friends, Yolande Clark. Today we are diving into some of the cornerstones of industrialized prenatal care, the gestational diabetes test, the GBS test, ultrasound technology, and navigating RH Factor. If you want to learn more, join our mailing list to hear about the release of Yolande Clark's upcoming book. 

Today I sit down with Kristy from Australia, who surprised me with her courage and strength. She secretly planned a freebirth, only letting her partner in on her plans. And after a perfect freebirth in her home, she was whisked away to the hospital when her mother called 911. But Kristy not only birthed her daughter that day, she birthed herself, into a fierce and powerful woman, a mother, with a voice, and thankfully, she learned how to use it.

This week I break down all the options of what to do with the placenta and simplify the famous question, "What to do with the cord"? 

This is the third episode of our four part series with Kim, tracking her wild pregnancy and upcoming freebirth. We tune in with Kim in at the tail end of her pregnancy to wrap up her third trimester before she heads into her impending labor. She tell us about her final weeks of dealing with HG, the fears and tests that are new to these final months, and her journey with a doppler. Lastly, Kim tells us her birth vision of her upcoming freebirth.
