A Free Birth & a Natural Premature Birth at 34 weeks

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Tilly Tilly is a mama of 2 from the US. She is a holistic sex and intimacy coach for mamas seeking to embody their pleasure and have the best sex of their lives, or rediscover sex after birth.  She is the host of The Multiorgasmic Mama Podcast that I’ve been a guest on, speaking about Conscious Conception. If you’re curious about that then check out the link to the episode in the show notes. But today we are going to chat about Tillys very interesting birth stories. Tilly had her first as a young 22 year old studying to become a OBGYN. But after witnessing the over medicalization of birth she decided to have a free birth at home with her partner. She had a very empowering and precipitous birth at home in the dark. When she feel pregnant with her second she was planning a home birth with a midwife to have some female support at the birth altar.   But at 34 weeks she ended up breaking her waters prematurely. She stayed home for 24hrs to see if labour would start naturally and then decided to go into hospital where she naturally induced herself with nipple stimulation through a breast pump.  She then birthed her own way on all fours on the floor and stayed at the hospital doing kangaroo care for 10 days with her new born. All on her own terms. Curious about Tilly?
