[Birth Stories] Fast Homebirths and Liminal Spaces With a Pregnant Funeral Director, with Anna Walsh

If birth and death are liminal bookends to our human experience, what conversations emerge as a pregnant funeral director is attended by a grieving midwife? Anna Walsh shares the story of her two fast births, and how she felt safe, heard, and respected as she transferred to the hospital for a retained placenta after her first birth (and cheered the second one when it came easily!). In this season of introspection and remembrance, Anna shares with Adriana her insights on the power of companionship through these connected spaces, how she intentionally combined two comfort measures to help her through her birth, along with the hearse drivers’ particular feelings about driving around a very pregnant person.Sponsor offers - TIME SENSITIVE! NEEDED - Get 20% off at ThisIsNeeded.com with code BIRTHFULGet the most out of this episode by checking out the resources, transcript, and links on its show notes page.  If you liked this episode, listen to our interview on How Prenatal Yoga Can Help Protect Your Energy (And Why This Is Important!) and our episode on Shaking and the Primal Nature of BirthYou can connect with Birthful @BirthfulPodcast on Instagram or email us at [email protected]. If you enjoy what you hear, download Birthful's Postpartum Plan FREE when you sign up for our weekly newsletter!
