Today on the show I speak with doula and mother of two - Amber Kevill. Amber had her first baby in the birth centre and went on plan a homebirth with a private midwife for her second. And although Amber never spoke the words aloud she managed to self manifest an accidental freebirth. I found it really interesting hearing Amber’s process and the fight inside her to decide what she really wanted. Amber said she felt a lot of judgement around freebirth and this is partially why this decision was so hard. Like so many Mum’s that freebirth - Amber is your normal, down to earth Mum who isn’t particularly hippy or alternative - just well researched around birth! Enjoy the conversation.
About Amber:
Hi, my name is Amber. I am a Birth Doula, Hypnobirthing Educator and I also run an Instagram account @Doulalibrary sharing birth resources which feeds my passion for reading and education. I am a mother of 2 children. After my son was a straight forward but quick birth centre birth in 2017 I feared a fast accidental unassisted 2nd birth. This lead me into the freebirthing world where I have held support groups and met many wonderful women. For baby 2 I decided not to freebirth but to homebirth with an Independent Midwife, however baby had other ideas and lessons for me.
