Podcasts about unassisted childbirth

If you are were in the path of Hurricane Helene and you are pregnant nearing delivery, you are probably terrified right now of what's going to happen if you go into labor.  Or if you are listening to this sometime in the future, you might find yourself in a place where you can't get the assistance you need for another reason.  This episode is a desperate attempt to get information to the moms who need it right now in areas of Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and parts of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida who might be in a position that they are facing labor alone, unplanned.  There are women who are going to have an unassisted birth at home even though they planned a hospital birth with all the interventions....and that's a scary place to be.  I want to help those women. I know many of these places don't have electricity right now or internet/cell service, but some are being restored even though their roads are still washed out.  So my plea to anyone listening to this today is that you share this as far and wide as you can so that hopefully this will reach the mamas who need it right now.  I'm releasing it early rather than waiting until my usual release date of Tuesday morning to try to get a jump start on it.  There will also be a YouTube video with the same information in case that is easier to share.  This is my attempt to help anyone I can as I sit helpless in middle Tennessee, unable to go be with these women who are essentially cut off from society.  My prayer is this helps at least one mom. I ask you to help me do that.   Helpful Links:   3 WAYS TO WORK WITH LORI:   --> Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!

Laura Shanley was kind enough today to talk to us about her work which revolved around her story of giving birth to 4 children at home, naturally and without medical doctors, natural doctors, midwives or even a doula. She is the author of Unassisted Childbirth and has quite an amazing story to tell. In fact one of her children was breeched coming out. You'll be really interested when you listen to find out exactly how she got around that birth complication when that happened. What I love so much about Laura Shanley is her work on educating women about fear, stress and how they both play a major role in how the birth process unfolds. We talked with Laura about her story of how she got interested in natural birth practices and how her own experience has shaped her opinions of what's possible for women. [spp-tweet "Giving birth should be your greatest achievement, not your greates fear. - Jane Weideman"] Like I said in the later part of the show, I think it's absolutely critical for all women to start doing the spiritual and emotional work long before they're ever even pregnant. Ideally it should even be before conception. You see our media has ingrained in us fear from every angle imaginable. Fear comes in from newspapers, magazines, movies, websites, books, blogs, commercials, television shows and advertisements all around us. The only way they can force people into going into hospitals is by scaring women so badly that they walk in there willingly. When we start to unplug ourselves from their mass hypnosis and programming we can begin to think for ourselves. Once that happens we can start doing emotional work like The Healing Codes or some other way of clearing trapped emotions, and start filling our minds with positive stories and books about what's possible. Imagine if we all began to take our power back and realize we don't need their services anymore? Imagine the crippling effect that would have on the current medical establishment that's hanging onto their last vestiges of perceived power by kicking and screaming. It's only a matter of time until the masses see them for what they are and begin taking their power back in every area of their lives. That day is coming. Some of the items we mentioned are c-sections, lotus birth, when to cut the umbilical chord, water birth, hypnobirthing and much more. I think you'll really enjoy this show!

Show Date: Monday 11/3/2014 Show Guest: Laura Shanley Guest Info: I am a free-lance writer, birth consultant, speaker, and author of the book Unassisted Childbirth. I am also the mother of four children, all of whom were born at home without the help of doctors or midwives. My ex-husband, David, caught the first one and I caught the other three. Neither of us had been trained in midwifery, but we both understood that the problems in birth can be traced to three main causes: poverty, medical intervention and fear. Since we did not live in poverty, did not choose to invite medical professionals to our births, and had worked with ourselves to eliminate fear and other potentially destructive emotions, we knew that unassisted childbirth was the safest way for us to give bir...

Today we have Amanda from Los Angeles, California. Luckily, Amanda was able to attend a hospital birth before being pregnant, so she knew what she didn't want. With the support of her partner, she prepared herself for an autonomous birth at home. Labor began at the bar where she and her husband had met. She drove herself home to realize she was in full blown active labor. Her birth story is beautifully simplistic, though not without an interesting twist at the end!
