506 | Emily, three babies, miscarriage, private midwife, marginal cord insertion, short cervix, physiological birth, MCDA twins, NICU, postpartum preeclampsia
Description
Sometimes we hear so much about birth - all kinds of births - that we can forget it is a normal, biological process. In today’s episode, Emily’s experience reiterates the ease of physiological birth - both at home with a single baby, and in hospital with twins. She is honest from the get-go when she admits that she wasn’t even sure she wanted to be a parent but we follow her journey of acceptance, the grief of misscarriage, the trust in her body and the preparation she did to lean into her intuition and birth all three babies with a profound sense of faith in her breath and body. If you’re currently in a period of doubt and fear (both very normal experiences in pregnancy), you’ll find so much comfort in this episode.

What makes The Birth Class so unique?
Instead of learning from one person with one perspective, we’ve gathered nine perinatal health specialists to take you through everything you need to know about labour and birth.
Evidence based information is key to thorough preparation. In The Birth Class you’ll learn from:
5 midwives and an obstetrician, a women’s health physiotherapist, yoga teacher and birth doula.
Listen in your own time and as many times as you like so you understand:
- the process of labour and the hormones involved
- the benefits and risks of interventions
- your pain-relief options
- what happens in an emergency caesarean
- what to expect in the hours after birth
- active preparation for a VBAC
Plus, you’ll be taught practical birth skills that will help you navigate the twists and turns of labour.
The Birth Class is accessible birth education that’s both conversational and wise. Best of all, it will start a conversation with you and your support person so you can both feel prepared and confident to make informed choices; the foundation of a positive birth experience.
