In this episode I interview Ashlea on the unplanned, unassisted birth on her bathroom floor! We dive into SPD ( symphysis pubis dysfunction) and what she was able to do to help her, how she was able to advocate for herself when she didn't want to have cervical exams and why she transferred care from hospital midwife to homebirth midwife at 27 weeks. We discuss those last days leading up to labor and how she struggled with surrendering with the unknown of when labor will begin and how she felt "like a queen" in those early hours and days after giving birth!
