In this episode, I interview Maureen Farrell. She is a homebirth midwife, mama of 2, lactation counselor. We have an awesome conversation about her pregnancies and her work as a homebirth midwife. "My name is Maureen Farrell; I am a Certified Family Herbalist, Certified Lactation Counselor, Certified Doula, and a Homebirth Midwife. My practice is centered around Elkins, WV, and I can typically travel up to 2 hours to work with you! I have created Highland Birth Support to serve you and your family during the childbearing year. The Childbearing Year is a term referring to the period of fertility prior to pregnancy, the entire pregnancy, and the postpartum time. Here in the Highland region of West Virginia, I aim to support families by providing midwifery care, full-spectrum doula services, lactation support, childbirth education, and herbal consultation. It is my goal to support families in making their own best choices during their birth experience. Whether that means supporting you in your homebirth, and keeping that space safe by providing clinical assessment and midwifery care, or accompanying you to the hospital where I can provide emotional support and help you communicate with your healthcare providers during labor. It is not my wish to make choices for you, but rather to help you access the information you need to make your own choices. I believe in autonomy in birth, and wish to help you protect your space and safety while you do the hard work of birthing a baby."

If we think about birth hundreds of years ago, it was at home and the experienced women of the family, or the village, and the traditional midwife supported women in labor. But where have all the wise women gone? And who can you count on to give you the support that a wise woman would? In this episode will take a very brief look at the history of midwifery, how the modern woman lacks support in the hospital model of care, and where you can find a wise woman.

Part 2 to the epic first pregnancy preparation episode. If you haven't listened yet to Part 1, check it out here. This mammoth episode sees Mason and Tahnee diving deep into the practices, philosophy, diet and herbalism that went into creating the year in which Tahnee was childbearing little Aiya. This podcast was recorded during the first week of bubba's life, so the sharing experience of the birth is fresh; something Tahnee was wishing to be able to infuse into this intimate sharing of how she chose to approach nourishing her body during pregnancy. We have received such amazing feedback from these two episodes and with such amazing sharings, we had to revisit them! Here's what Mason and Tahnee dive into (with much more extensive notes shared below): Pregnancy and home birth plans How did Tahnee know? We found out at four weeks, basically I was very aware that something was different in my body!! We'd both felt the baby come in November, and exactly three months later we were pregnant, and I've heard that's common Pregnancy diet we don't follow a dietary plan, more intuitive generally vegetarian, though we do include meat in our diet, probably once or twice a week: fish, buffalo, occasionally organic chicken and beef, other wild meats (rabbit, goat, boar), broths/stocks more mindful of eating a variety of foods and definitely eat more quantity, smaller meals, regularly organic and local as much as possible - farmers market and Santos/Source keep us fed fridge/freezer is stocked wild foods, high mineral content fermented foods Best supplements during pregnancy I didn't take a lot of vitamins or anything like that, apart from lipsomal vitamin C lots of herbs, mostly tonics, plus raspberry leaf and nettle, slippery elm occasionally, yellow dock, dandelion, milk thistle, ginger lots of probiotics iodine until I saturated silica personally most concerned about losing minerals as bubbas drain mamas (for every baby a tooth, is an old saying!) so been keeping up the minerals megahydrate estroblock when we had it, just one cap per day of the pro clays and charcoal (you might've heard of pica - desire to eat clays - common in pregnant women) DHA, EFA: fish oil, also raw seafood, fish and oysters sea minerals The best tonic herbs and medicinal mushrooms during pregnancy best suggestion is reishi, but I took everything in the SuperFeast range at various stages, kidney jing herbs lately (postpartum) to heal and boost recovery Best herbs during pregnancy avoid steroidal herbs, emmenagogues check out Susun Weed's book and Aviva Romm Symptoms of pregnancy been lucky, apart from tiredness and needing to eat a lot more, I've had very little to complain about. Have felt body change, but that's been fine, I've enjoyed being pregnant. Heartburn when my uterus got really big (apparently babies with lots of hair give their mamas heartburn…), but that stopped when baby dropped, ‘growing pains' around my ribs (like when I was a kid), car sickness if I had an empty belly Pregnancy cravings / changes started eating meat again, pretty mindfully needed lots of simple carbs in the first trimester, regularly. Like, every two hours. Bilbo Baggins style - breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoons I wasn't a hungry, but at least one snack and then dinner. And often needed to eat in the middle of the night. So I did

On today's Babies in Common Show, we interview our friend Brittany Falcone, a chiropractor in Worcester, Massachusetts, who specializes in pregnancy and pediatric care.  Brittany shares her interesting story that inspired her to become a chiropractor and then we talk with her about what chiropractic care is and isn't...and what certain chiropractors with specialized training can do for pregnancy, including the Webster Technique.  We also discuss how chiropractic care helps with immunity, sleep, digestion and overall well-being. Recorded Wednesday, March 10, 2021.

Hello witches, seekers, and friends! Thanks for tuning in to episode 34 of The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast, the show where we do a little ranting, raving, and wand-waving! Today we're talking about a profession and mission that's common in witchy and pagan circles - midwifery, doulas, and birth work. Is Midwifery witchcraft? Why are there so many witchy and pagan doulas? When did that happen? I'll talk a bit about the history of the european witch trials and how many of those persecuted were accused of possessing the power to heal through natural remedies and ... satanic witchcraft? How the rise of Doctors as a profession cost many women healers, and the women who depended on them, their lives and own rights to understand their bodies. I also share stories and experiences from other witchy parents, midwives, and doulas - including yours truly, a former doula. I reference a BUNCH of great sources for you to continue your own research on this topic, including: The Birth House by Ami McKay (and the #WitchyWednesday tag on twitter) Witches Sluts Feminists by Kristen J. Solee Witches, Midwives, and Nurses by Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English The Story of Jane by Laura Kaplan Basic Witches by Jaya Saxena and Jess Zimmerman The Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year by Susun Weed Witches: A Century of Murder doc on Netflix (also the Pendle Witch Child on YouTube!)
