On today's episode we have Vivian's second birth story.  After a traumatic first birth experience and hospital trauma from walking her father through dialysis, Vivian was called to doing things differently the second time round. However, after having no luck finding a provider to support her in the hospital, it led her towards homebirth which felt right with her. 

Her journey towards the birth she wanted was not easy or straight forward but she was filled with peace throughout the obstacles she faced. She backed her intuition and God doing what was within her control and surrendering the rest and the result was a restorative chilled HBAC.

Today's episode was inspired by Black Maternal Health week and International Day of the Midwife. 
We speak midwifery as a solution not just for better health outcomes but the cost benefit on governments and societies and the satisfaction of birthing women. 
Bringing midwives back to the forefront of maternal care is the answer for thriving, women and families.
Let's work towards a society that centers and values women and mothers and in turn values children and this starts at conception and birth.
