In this episode of The Midwives Podcast, Margie sits down with her client to share the beautiful, empowering story of baby Foster’s birth. From early pregnancy beliefs to choosing an out-of-hospital birth, she walks us through how social media, mindset work, and deep trust in her body shaped her decision to pursue an unmedicated water birth.
She recounts the surprising start of labor, the steady build of intensity, and the grounding routines—breathing, darkness, movement, and support—that carried her through. With honesty and warmth, she describes back labor, her water breaking on the “dilation station,” the calm focus of the birth tub, and the powerful moment Foster was placed on her chest.
The episode also explores the realities of postpartum feeding challenges, including discovering her baby had multiple oral ties, navigating latch difficulties, and finding the right specialists for support.
This is a story of intuition, surrender, preparation, and the deep transformation of becoming a mother—an inspiring listen for anyone curious about physiological birth or the power of trusting your body.
