This episode is a rare solo one with just your host, Amber Dawn, sharing the birth story of Elijah River.
Born nearly 10 years ago in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
This story is one that highlights some of the ways that birthing folks are not listened to and their body autonomy disrespected.
Healthy Parent, Healthy Baby should not be our only markers for a successful birth.
Did you feel respected? Did you feel heard? Did you feel involved in and able to make informed choices? Did you leave your birthing experience without trauma?
