During Sparrow’s freebirth, she found herself unable to release her bladder. When she arrived at the hospital seeking a catheter, instead - she was misdiagnosed with HIV and given a c-section. She was kept from breastfeeding, harassed by social services, and spent the following few days in a nightmarish hell as she fought for herself and her new baby. 

So, this episode is Sparrow’s story, and it’s also in celebration of who Sparrow is today and her new offering to the world. 

Sparrow is a very special woman who has devoted her life to serving pregnant women through high level body work and birth keeping.
