The 12 Days in Between: From Child Loss to Freebirth

On the show today I have Simone, from Australia, sharing her heart wrenching story of losing her 2.5 year old daughter and just 12 days later free birthing her second daughter. She tells us of the gutting journey of going through her wild pregnancy while navigating the allopathic system for Evie - trying to maintain autonomy and dignity for her family amongst providers who were left astounded at her daughter's quickly diminishing condition. She vulnerably shares of her daughter's death, the redemptive birth of Freya and everything in between. This is one of those impossible stories and yet Simone is not alone. There are bereaved mothers all around us and this is a deep touching story that softens our hearts and reminds us of the enormous heartbreak, complexities, and courage of motherhood. May this story medicine today honor the sweet life of little Evie and may all mothers who have lost children feel our warm hug and solidarity within this episode.

Om Podcasten

The Free Birth Society Podcast features honest, gripping, inspiring, and transformative freebirth stories hosted by the founder Emilee Saldaya in conversation with wild women worldwide. In the vast tapestry of childbirth experiences, a thread runs undisturbed, unmedicated, and true to its ancestral roots: freebirth. This differs from your usual home birth with doulas or midwives in attendance. Freebirth stands apart, where birthing is solely in the hands of the birthing woman, accompanied only by her intuition, rhythms of nature, witnessed by her family. The Free Birth Podcast invites you to a unique corner of the universe where we dive deep into the raw essence of birth, untamed and unassisted. Pushing against the tides of modern obstetrics and its violent approach, we venture into stories of women who've boldly chosen to claim this primal rite of passage. Here, we're not merely sharing tales; we're challenging the status quo and redefining the very narrative of childbirth. As we unravel discussions on rights in childbirth, dissect varied care models, and amplify the unfiltered voices of freebirthing women from around the planet, our purpose remains clear: to spotlight the distinction and significance of wild birth. This isn't an argument against the myriad ways women choose to birth, but rather an affirmation that freebirth has its revered space in the continuum of birth choices. Join us in celebrating a movement that underscores the powerful message and has changed the lives of thousands: Birth, in its purest form, is not a medical event but a profoundly personal journey. The Free Birth Society Podcast is your compass to navigate and rediscover that journey. *Freebirth = Birthing in the absence of any hired professionals, away from medical institutions or their agents. Also known as family birth, unassisted birth, wild birth. *Sovereign birth = Birthing outside of the medical paradigm, inclusive of births with authentic midwives and doulas. We include many stories on the show where women birthed outside of the medical system with doulas and radical birth keepers. While these births are not freebirths, they are certainly sovereign births!
