Marley is a doula, birth educator, nanny, and babysitter who continues to support families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenting.Her first pregnancy followed the cascade of interventions, ultimately leading to an instrumental birth. During her second pregnancy, Marley planned a home birth. However, after discovering her baby was breech and having open discussions with her midwife and hospital team, weighing up the information available to her at the time, she chose to have a caesarean birth. She proactively wrote to the hospital outlining her wishes and the context surrounding her decision, advocating for a respectful and supported experience.Her second baby was admitted to NICU with pathological jaundice, and Marley also navigated recovery from a caesarean infection.Support the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

Active birth is a powerful way to prepare for birth - and super effective. Yet it's benefits are less known about these days thanks to the countless courses, techniques and online courses now available. It's very physical focus is the key to mothers feeling confident as well as to countering the worrying rise in medicalised birth and Natalie's conversation with ardent active birth advocate Silvia Bush Infestas-Lopez will give you a really felt sense of exactly why. Silvia is a Spanish mum of two and a Marketing Director based in London.  Silvia discovered Active Birth during her first pregnancy five years ago, and its common-sense approach immediately resonated with her. As she began learning more about birth physiology, what started as a personal interest quickly grew into a real passion. Silvia later trained as a certified Active Birth teacher, alongside other pregnancy, birth and postnatal-related certifications. Her own positive birth experiences were life-changing, and Silvia now loves sharing what she's learned to help other parents approach birth with more confidence and trust in their bodies.   As always thanks for listening.

There were more than 70,000 cases of alleged drug use during pregnancy sent to law enforcement officials across 21 states over six years, including Oregon. As reported in The Marshall Project, these cases involved unreliable drug tests that show inaccurate results, are difficult to read or are simply wrong. In Oregon, and in 12 other states, welfare agencies automatically report any positive test result to authorities.

In this open and reflective conversation, she shares her birth imprint, her experience of neurodivergence, and how pain and trauma shaped her early births.Her first birth at the birth centre included a shoulder dystocia, 3B tear, major postpartum haemorrhage, retained placenta requiring surgery, transfusions, and a later prolapse. Her second began with prodromal labour and ended in an emergency caesarean.During her third pregnancy, Shelby realised she didn't fully trust birth — and she was no longer able to return to the birth centre due to her previous experiences. As labour began, she chose to stay home and see how things unfolded, setting up her birth pool and ultimately birthing her baby there before transferring to hospital with concerns of postpartum haemorrhage.Links:(Instagram) Shelby Trevillian | RBM Breathwork • RPYT 500 • Somatic CoachSupport the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

Maria Magdalena “Mags” Campbell joins us from Cape Town, South Africa to share her inspiring story through loss, fertility challenges, and ultimately TWO VBAM births.  With the support of Chinese medicine, acupuncture, progesterone, and a fertility coach, Mags went on to conceive her son naturally. She met with 8 doctors before finally finding a VBAM supportive provider and hospital at 32 weeks. After a successful ECV for a breech baby, she went on to have a hospital VBAM with an epidural at 9 cm at 40+1 weeks, welcoming her 3.9-kg son.Her second pregnancy came easily and felt very different. Mags prepped similarly with things like Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but leaned even more into holistic prep through breathwork, meditation, yoga, and doula support. Mags chose a hospital birth over a home birth and went on to have a euphoric, unmedicated vaginal water birth at 40+3 weeks, welcoming her 4.1-kg daughter.During her prep, Mags connected with Mabel and she hopes that her stories can bring the same inspiration that Mabel's did for her.

Have you ever felt completely unqualified for what God has asked you to do? Enoch felt the same way. He was "but a lad" and "slow of speech," yet he became the man who led an entire city to be translated. Discover how your weaknesses can become your greatest strengths. Summary: In this episode, we explore the rich doctrines found in Genesis 5 and Moses 6. We look at the legacy of Adam and the rise of Enoch, uncovering the patterns of faith that define the patriarchal priesthood. The Book of Remembrance: We discuss why the early Saints kept a record in their own language and how writing down our spiritual experiences preserves them for our children. Parenting in the Gospel: Adam and Eve taught their children "in the way of understanding," providing a model for teaching by the Spirit and through the "power of God". The Call of Enoch: We analyze Enoch's deep insecurity when called to preach—his youth and his speech impediment—and God's promise to "open thy mouth" and "fill it". The Power of a Seer: Enoch was commanded to "wash thine eyes with clay," a symbol of purifying his vision to see things not visible to the natural eye. The First Principles: Enoch teaches the fundamental "plan of salvation" through baptism, the Spirit, and the Atonement, showing that the gospel has been the same from the very beginning.

Her story beautifully illustrates how subsequent births can offer profound healing opportunities, especially with the right support team and birth education. Maddy's first birth was an induction which resulted in significant perineal trauma, and postpartum haemorrhage.

Send us a textA new season meets a new reality: we're grateful for 100K downloads, proud of students who crossed the finish line after multiple tries, and honest about a recent breast cancer diagnosis that changed the rhythm of our days. Missi walks through the surprise pathology, why we chose an aggressive plan, and what bilateral mastectomy and a forced season of stillness look like for a do‑everything human. We talk openly about anxiety, support, and “aggressive optimism,” because clarity and community make uncertain roads feel possible.Then we shift gears to a masterclass on the labor patterns every clinician grapples with: malposition and asynclitism. We break down synclitism versus anterior and posterior asynclitism, how to read the sagittal suture and fontanelles, and why uneven effacement is a blazing clue. You'll hear practical tools for OP and OT that move beyond clichés—mapping interventions to the inlet, mid‑pelvis, and outlet so each position serves a purpose. Think the jiggle as gentle myofascial work, forward‑leaning inversion to free tension, and strict sidelying release with stacked hips. We show how peanut balls, fire‑hydrant, rock‑the‑boat, sacral massage, and internal femur rotation widen the right spaces at the right time.For second stage, we dig into manual rotation: when to attempt it, how to disengage enough to succeed, and how skilled hands can shorten labor and prevent operative delivery. Along the way we highlight nurse‑midwife teamwork, patient‑centered pacing, and trusted resources like Spinning Babies and the Labor Progress Handbook that give units a shared language and a sharper plan. Variation in fetal position isn't failure—it's an invitation to find the position, create the space, and encourage the movement.If this conversation helps your practice or your spirit, follow, share with a colleague, and leave a quick review. Your support fuels more teaching, more tools at the bedside, and more stories of perseverance and healing.
