Nadine is a mother who birthed her first baby free of the medical system. She’s also a triplet, which I thought was such a cool piece of information and had to mention it.
Nadine grew up in Grew up in Ghana from the age of 5, so the values of community living and nurturing were very present in her life. In this conversation, she speaks about:
*Taking on the role of helping tend to her elder brother’s child at the age of 10 as this is a normal display within Ghanian community structures
*Growing up and knowing that what she wanted was to be a mother and looking into ways that she could make this possible
*Knowing exactly what she wanted for herself and then meeting a partner that was on the same page
*Getting pregnant and sharing her desire to birth with only her partner present, which lead to some preparation through watching birth videos, listening to podcasts and self study
*Having an experience with a Medical Midwife where she was completely ignored when she spoke of her want to possibly have a birth free of the system
*Flying to the UK around 33 weeks and taking care of her pregnancy on her own
*Nadine speaks to how her birth brought some healing to her mother’s birth and experience after having her triplets
*Being emotionally and mentally supported by her cousin who had also birthed one of her babies free of the medical system
*Navigating an 18 hour birth portal
*and experiencing a bit of difficulty during breastfeeding that was easily remedied by some infant bodywork
This was such a simple and gentle experience where Nadine was able to be in her power and surrender into having the exact birth that she needed in-order to mother her child in the way he wanted to be mothered.
