Ep 4 Pt 1 - Makenzie's Pregnancy | Ectopic Pregnancy | Water Birth | Doula
Update: 2025-06-02
Description
In this episode of Mama Becoming: Birth & Beyond, I sit down with Makenzie — a fellow doula based in Dubai — to talk about her powerful and personal journey into motherhood.
After being told she might struggle to conceive, Makenzie experienced an ectopic pregnancy, followed by a threatened miscarriage early in her next pregnancy. Despite these early challenges, she went on to have an unmedicated water birth — shaped by deep trust in her body, her doctor, and her doula.
She shares openly about the emotional and physical journey through:
- Health challenges during conception and pregnancy
- Using education to transform fear into confidence
- Hiring a doula and the power of continuous support
- A calm, physiological birth supported by the fetal ejection reflex
- Reflections on hospital care — what felt supportive, and what didn’t
Makenzie’s story is a reminder that preparation, support, and self-trust can reshape birth into something strong and empowering.
