This episode of Big Mum Energy is for the mums who didn’t get a say in how their babies were born.

Ali is joined by Maddi a midwife, mum, and birth advocate, to unpack the emotional impact of birth trauma, medical interventions, and what it really means to have informed consent during childbirth.

From emergency C-sections and traumatic birth experiences to reclaiming control through home birth and personal empowerment, this is a raw, honest, and deeply personal conversation.

Ali shares her story of having three caesarean births she never felt she chose, while Maddi opens up about navigating the system as both a mum and a midwife and why she chose to have a free birth at home after her own traumatic birth.

This episode is a must-listen for:

• Mums who’ve felt silenced or dismissed in the birth room
• Parents recovering from unexpected or traumatic births
• Anyone exploring VBAC, free birth, or alternative birth options
• Birth workers and doulas passionate about informed consent and respectful care

Because when it comes to your body, your birth, and your baby, your voice matters.
