The Free Birth Podcast explores what it means to exercise our full autonomy as women during pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. We now live in a global culture in which obstetrics has come to monopolize every aspect of birth. Epidemic rates of surgical birth, rampant trauma among women, and a deeply embedded resistance to the spontaneous process of birth have become normalized. Pregnancy is treated as an illness and childbirth is seen as an emergency from which women and babies need to be saved. Before doctors and even midwives were seen as the “experts”, there was just...birth. Women have been successfully birthing healthy babies for as long as human beings have walked the earth. The truth is that birth is a normal physiological event that rarely requires medical intervention. To freebirth is typically associated with the term “unassisted childbirth”, which means the woman is choosing to give birth without medical assistance and is managing her own care. The Free Birth podcast is a virtual corner of the universe dedicated to validating birth as our own, and celebrating the growing movement of women reclaiming birth as our own. Birth is not a medical event! Join us as we discuss legal and human rights in childbirth, investigate the different models of care, and hear from women around the world as they tell their stories of birthing freely. Our intention with this podcast is to uplift the voices of women who are making the decision to opt out of the default medical system. Freebirth isn’t for everyone. The Free Birth Podcast simply highlights the fact that freebirth is a viable option for many women, and that there is room in this world for every woman to exercise her own personal choice in birth.
Chrissy was called to motherhood in her 40’s and navigated a highly medicalized pregnancy and birth with her first, and then a miscarriage and D&C. With her third pregnancy she let go of the “high risk” and “geriatric” labels, fired her midwife at 39 weeks, and chose to freebirth her son.

Brittany was diagnosed with brain tumors at the age of 20 and was told she’d never get pregnant and it was too dangerous to give birth. After seven years of failed IVF and surrogacy attempts, Brittany decided to try to get pregnant naturally, and to the surprise of all her doctors, she did. During her first birth and through the pregnancy of her second, Brittany started to reclaim her authority and trust in her own body. Brittany decided to have a sovereign birth with her third child and since then has begun untangling herself and her family from the medical system.

Emma spent her 20’s as an anarchist who didn’t want children, until one day she was hit with the primal need to become a mother. Through shamanic drum journeys, she heard the messages of her ancestors telling her to freebirth, telling her that they had been waiting for a woman in their lineage to call upon their support. Emma beautifully articulates her journey through her wild pregnancy, how she laughed her baby out, and had all her needs met in postpartum.

Today we are thrilled to be sharing our episode from the FIRST EVER LIVE SHOW from this past November in Austin, Texas. It was so fun to do this IRL and get to sit with my guest on stage, surrounded by so many amazing pod supporters.
This is *not* a story to miss, check it out:
An unwanted induction led Kait to a homebirth with a medical midwife for her second. In her third pregnancy, she felt ready to choose a wild pregnancy and freebirth. At 35 weeks, her birth unexpectedly began. Kait got freaked out by the amount of blood present in her birth and while her husband goes to get them ready to transfer, her daughter was born, weighing 3.5 lbs. While she waited for the placenta…her son was born. The healthy *surprise* twins quickly nursed and everyone stayed home. Kait tells the wild story of moving from surprise of twins to navigating loss of power as a hurricane pummeled Houston, Texas in the first days of her postpartum.
