“The one you didn’t plan is the one that will teach you the most”: Emily’s Birth Story of Uli Hawthorne

Author: Indie Birth Association July 8, 2021 Duration: 2:43:47

Emily is a homebirth mother of three. She chose to birth her third baby outside of the regulated midwifery model when she realized it wasn’t meeting her needs in a COVID landscape. Her pregnancy, birth, NICU experience, and postpartum were deep lessons in intuition and finding her own way through.

The Birth Warrior Podcast, brought to you by the Indie Birth Association, moves beyond mainstream narratives to explore the raw, powerful, and deeply personal landscape of autonomous birth. This isn't a how-to guide, but a collection of voices often left out of the conversation. Each episode features firsthand stories from individuals who have navigated pregnancy and childbirth on their own terms, reclaiming intuition and authority in the process. You'll hear candid reflections on the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of this journey, discussions that intersect with holistic health, alternative family structures, and conscious parenting. The podcast delves into the mental and physical fortitude required, connecting the dots between personal autonomy, fitness, and overall family wellness. By centering these authentic narratives, the Birth Warrior Podcast creates a vital space for anyone questioning conventional paradigms, offering not just stories but a sense of community and validation for those exploring paths less traveled in the realm of birth and motherhood.
