5 & 5: The Journey of Live Birth & Miscarriage with Patrice London
from Free Birth Society · host Emilee Saldaya
Today on the show we have the incredible Patrice from New Jersey. Patrice walked into her first birth experience at 20 years old feeling confident in her body and in her ability to have a normal unmedicated birth. She was quickly silenced and given pitocin without her consent or knowledge. Patrice was forced to stay in bed in excruciating pain for 30+ hours, denying the epidural laying there suffering. Somehow deep within her, Patrice knew this wasn’t right and that this wasn’t her body’s fault. She left the hospital knowing she would never go back. She then went on to have two midwife assisted births and five miscarriages. Finally with her fourth, and then fifth, Patrice had family centered free births. We also can’t help but get into an in depth conversation about midwifery regulation, eating placentas, and the questionable ethics of doulas. This interview is one for the books.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.
