Holy Wild Birth

Free Birth Before It Was Cool: Part 1 w/ Bree Moore


Listen Later

In this short series, we're speaking with women who have been freebirthing long before it became trendy, back when it was called Unassisted Birth and there weren't very many resources devoted to it, let alone a society devoted to it.

Each of these women chose free birth for reasons that essentially come down to their faith.

In part 1, we're joined by Bree Moore, a mom of 7 (5 of them free birthed) and author of two books on freebirth!

Here's some of what we cover:

  • Default position of just her, her husband and God
  • The role of seeking assistance and using technology (and how to know when to do so)
  • Inviting husband to walk the uncertain road and finding unity/partnership
  • What self-directed prenatal care can look like in a wild pregnancy
  • Facing the fear of death using statistics
  • The role of humility,a willingness to be uncomfortable, and resourcefulness (and other things required to be a freebirther)
  • a more beautiful experience or a more guttural and messy one?!
  • Beware of making free birth an idol
  • Social media isn’t a good place to get advice while you’re in labor
  • The power of stories to shift perspective and shape decisions
  • Why freebirth is not a magic wand
