Georgia - surprise twin freebirth story & wild pregnancy following a traumatic first birth in hospital where she experienced fat phobia, weight stigma, coercion, and procedures without consent
Description
Welcome back to another episode of The Mama Village podcast! I'm your host, Ellen, and today I am bringing you a truly extraordinary episode.
In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with Georgia, a mother of three who shares her SURPRISE twin freebirth story!
Georgia's journey begins with a traumatic first birth experience that was marred by fat phobia, weight stigma, and coercion. Despite having unwavering faith in her body's ability, she faced fear and skepticism from the medical staff as she went past her due date. Georgia's story of being seen as difficult for advocating for herself and her baby is both shocking and heartbreaking. She endured forceps being used without her consent, an experience that left a lasting impact.
For Georgia’s second pregnancy, she chose a different path. She embraced a virtually wild pregnancy, placing complete trust in her body and intuition. Her decision led to an awe-inspiring freebirth, and to her astonishment, a surprise twin birth. Georgia shares the moment of sheer disbelief when she realised that what she thought was the placenta was, in fact, her second baby.
Throughout our conversation, Georgia opens up about her decision-making process around freebirth, her deep sense of knowing that it was the right choice for her and her babies, and the profound strength she found in honoring herself. We also touch on the sensitive topic of infant death, and how her experience shaped her views on childbirth and autonomy.
Join us as we dive deep into Georgia's incredible journey, exploring themes of advocacy, self-trust, and the transformative power of birth. This episode is a testament to the strength and wisdom of mothers, and you won't want to miss it.
