Holly's Full of Gumption 4 Fast Home Births

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Holly. Holly is a mama of four from the UK and she is a veterinarian, a feminist and passionate about women’s experiences of birth and motherhood.  As a veterinarian, she has seen many mammal births and know that this works best when the mother is undisturbed. It was therefore a completely logical choice for her to have home births. She went on to have all four of her babies at home. They were each amazing, empowering and all different births.  Her first was born after only a four-hour long active labour stage, after her midwife claimed she wasn’t in enough pain to be in “real” labour.  Her second has born in a pitch black room after 90 minutes of her waters breaking and the most intense non stop contractions where Holly booted the midwives out to the kitchen and had her baby on her own.  Her third was born with her two sisters in the pool together with Holly ready to meet their baby sister.  And her fourth was born in a hurry on the bathroom floor after just seven contractions.  Holly’s stories are wild and beautiful and another variation of normal. And I love how assertive and full of gumption she is. I hope her stories will inspire you to claim your birth and rite of passage!
