#94 - Vinita Mansata's HBAC (Home birth after Cesarean) with a traditional Indian Birth Attendant | No Medication Parenting and more..

from Birth Agni · host Divya Kapoor/ Vinita Mansata

Vinita Mansata's journey towards advocating for natural childbirth at home is a testament to the power of personal experience and determination. Disappointed by a typical caesarean delivery years ago, this with a vertical scar, Vinita ji found herself yearning for a different birthing experience, one that honored the natural process of childbirth and empowered women to make informed choices about their bodies.Vinita ji intuitively went on to look for people, the Aam Admi who in her own words were ' not spoilt by the system' and had first hand experience with natural birth in its true sense- the local vendors and gardeners etc.She was empowered by their wisdom and did not look for a gynaecologist the second time at all also refusing all tests and ultrasounds. She did meet resistance from her mother for her choice of birth as well as parenting choices outside of allopathy and any other alternative modalities.We discuss in detail about1. Journey of her decision of a home birth some 30 years ago.2. Details of the home birth and postpartum.2. Choices to relook illness for children and allow body to heal on its own.3. Choosing not to vaccinate both her children and breastfeeding the younger one for 6 years4. The wisdom of the traditional birth keeper and the absurdity of the radiologist.Tune in to listen to the story of her birth, the born free movement which is not knew, which began some three decades ago, sounds surreal right?About the Guest: Vinita Mansata is an independent publisher by the name Earthcare Books and runs a bookstore called Earthcare Bookstore.

Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast Independent Podcast Network | Sarah Bivens and Matthew Bivens Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast is a weekly podcast about home birth and our decision to go from a traditional hospital birth with an OBGYN to a natural birth at home with midwives. This is a raw and honest show that explores homebirth from every angle. We talk about the fears and judgements thrown at you when you choose home birth. We share resources that we found tremendously helpful for understanding our birthing options. We confess the magic and craziness in preparing for pregnancy, home birth, motherhood and fatherhood. We talk about having sex while pregnant and maintaining your connection and intimacy as a couple. We reveal how to stay centered and not lose yourself through pregnancy, and tons more! This show is all about adding an empowered conversation to the topic of home birth and natural birth, while keeping it real, grounded and fun. So strap in and join us as we’re doing it at home! Who Am I Really? Damon L. Davis Adoptees telling their own stories of life in adoption, their search for their birth family, and how their reunion attempt turned out. Stories that make you laugh, cry, or simply say "wow".This podcast has two purposes: 1) To help you explore your own feelings about your adoption, accept your desire understand your own personal history, and decide for yourself whether reunification with your biological relatives is right for you. It will help you understand how others have dealt with issues related to protecting the feelings of their adopted families who may be supportive of your search, or question your motives and present challenges. 2) For non-adoptees, this podcast will help you understand some of what is in the minds of your friends, family members, or others who are adopted. Perhaps you had questions for them but you didn’t know if you should ask.The stories will make you smile or bring you to tears, but they’re all true as told b Fourth Trimester: The First Months and Beyond | Parenting | Newborn Baby | Postpartum | Doula Sarah Roselinda Trott My name is Sarah Trott. I started this show when I became a new mama to a vivacious baby girl and this podcast is all about postpartum care for the few months following birth, the time period also known as the Fourth Trimester. My postpartum doula, Esther Gallagher, is my co-host. She’s a mother, grandmother, perinatal educator, birth and postpartum care provider. I've benefitted hugely from her support. All parents can benefit from the wisdom and support that a postpartum Doula provides. Fourth trimester care is about the practical, emotional and social support parents and baby require, and importantly, helps set the tone for the lifelong journey of parenting. This podcast provides resources for new parents and examines the socio-cultural influences on parenting. When I first became pregnant, I had never heard of postpartum Doulas, let alone knew what they did.
