In today's episode, I'm talking with doula and co-founder of Carriage House Birth, Lindsey Bliss, about natural birthing options. She shares what a doula is and does, what it's like to work with one, and why it's important to understand your options and rights around birthing.  We also discuss the challenges around reproductive injustice, the common myths about giving birth, and how mothers can prepare for pregnancy, labor and, postpartum in a way that is safe, comfortable, and low stress.

Today we welcome renowned child-birth coach and author Lindsey Bliss. Lindsey is co-founder of doula agency Carriage House Birth which has assisted in more than 1100 births across the US and is mother of seven including two sets of twins! As Naomi has been pregnant with twins for all of lockdown, Lindsey was the perfect person to speak to about the role of a doula in supporting people through a momentous but often stressful time. Anand had been taught to be suspicious of doulas at medical school but speaking to Lindsey was transformational and totally turned around his understanding of exactly what a doula does.Lindsey shares how her own birth experiences made her want to support and empower others going through the same situation to make their own choices and have their voices heard through their birth journey. We discuss the challenges of the medicalisation of birth and the differences between the UK and US systems. Lindsey stresses the impact of race on the care you might receive and recognising the role of a doula to bear witness and even hold healthcare professionals and the structures responsible to account. As Naomi has found, there can be a lack of continuity during pregnancy, nevermind lockdown, and seeing a different midwife or doctor each time makes building trust and relationships with healthcare professionals hard and can ramp up the uncertainty. In these situations, as Lindsey tells us, the regular support of a doula throughout the pregnancy can bring a real sense of relief and allow for someone to advocate for your choices without imposing their views. In this impassioned, wide-ranging interview, we discuss the issues that worry new parents the most, trying to change the language of pain that imbues standard conversations about delivery and how to retain your identity and sensuality as a new parent.Lindsey's book The Doula's Guide to Empowering Your Birth published by Harvard Common Press is available from Amazon, Waterstones and all good independent bookstores.Read more about her work and agency, Carriage House Birth here and catch up with her on Instagram @doulabliss.CW: Childbirth, medical problems in delivery*We would love to hear from you: email us at hello@thepleasurepodcast.com or tweet us @ThePleasurePod.Please do rate, review, and share the podcast, it helps other people find us!*Social Media:Lindsey Bliss: @doulablissNaomi Sheldon: @NaomiSheldon1Anand Patel: @therealdranandFollow us at @ThePleasurePod and visit us at www.thepleasurepodcast.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Join us for a heartfelt chat with Christine Gibson about creativity, motherhood, activism, and progressive Christian faith. Christine was born and raised in Queens where she still resides with her husband and two children. She is training to be a certified birth doula with Carriage House Birth. She became passionate about birthwork after delivering her two children at home with a midwife. She has a BA and MA in International Relations and professional experience in the non-profit. She operates a small handmade business, Queens Knits and runs a monthly group called the Queens Knitting Circle to fulfill her passion of crafting and community building. Christine has been a member of Middle Collegiate Church for the past ten years and loves to share the church’s progressive message to whoever will listen. We delved into -  - Her relationship with God and the power of her church community (Middle Collegiate Church) which lifts up radical love, justice and cultivating change in the world.   - Centering authenticity and community  in creative entrepreneurship.  - Using social media as a tool to foster dialogues around social justice, and how the death of Mike Brown propelled her into a new season of activism.  - How a miscarriage eventually led her to study becoming a doula; Christine wants to give other women the birthing experience she didn't have.  - Seeing her progressive Christian faith as inextricably linked to movement building.  Helpful Links mentioned during this episode:  Middle Collegiate Church https://www.middlechurch.org/ Shi Shi Rose https://www.shishirose.com/ Valarie Kaur: Breathe and Push speech (mentioned at the end of this episode) https://valariekaur.com/2017/01/watch-night-speech-breathe-push/ Carriage House Birth (doula training organization) https://www.carriagehousebirth.com/
