19. "You'll never conceive naturally or birth vaginally". Amber’s Freebirth (FBAM) story.
In this episode, we hear from Amber in California, as she shares her FBAM story.
Before pregnancy, Amber had fibroid removal surgery (myomectomy). Since this is a vaginal birth after uterine surgery, it comes in the same 'category' as a VBAC.
Amber was told she couldn't conceive children naturally, and then when she did and was told she'd have to give birth by caesarean, Amber has been on a journey of deep healing and to question everything.
Amber explores how fear and self-sabotage can show up in birth, the power and importance of a solid birth team, and her process around walking away from medical care and a scheduled C-section.
Following an amazing freebirth, Amber has moved in to birth work compiling resources for anyone in a similar situation, and to support women to come back to themselves; something that has formed a huge part of her own healing.

18. The Partners Episode! Top tips for Supporting Freebirth from Dave and Dhi.
In this episode, we talk to two VERY special guests, our husbands, Dave and Dhi!
We wanted to explore freebirth from the perspective of the partners, and how ours felt around the idea of freebirth. This is more of a personal share episode, as we all talk about how the births and preparations felt for us.
We asked our community to send in some questions that we could put to our husbands, and this juicy episode doesn't disappoint!
We get to some nitty gritty...
How did you feel the first time freebirth came as an option?
Were you worried?
Different routes through birth preparation; we don't all prepare in the same way!
Practical support during labour and top tips.
Expectations vs reality.
Communication in your relationship.
What's the most uncomfortable conversation you've ever had?
Death, blame, responsibility and control- Acceptance of your partner's choices.
How even home birth can feel like a taboo topic.
Did you feel like you were a replacement for a midwife?
And much more!
Thank you to our lovely husbands for sharing your thoughts.
