In this episode, Miriam reflects on her preparation and how she was able to change her mind about birth. She experiences the care of a known midwife in the birth centre and a student midwife. Her labour starts spontaneously and goes for a few days. With the support of her midwife coming to check her at home, she knows this is ok and continues to labour beautifully at home. She arrives at the hospital and has her baby in the water. She marvels at how strong she is, and reflects on the power of her knowledge to understand what was going on and how to manage each of the stages. This is another story to inspire us to learn to trust the body, the body is indeed wired to give birth. Enjoy!
