It Was Just Another Day, But I Gave Birt...

Diana Forsell Tayan
About this episode

After a traumatic, unnecessary cesarean in an Australian hospital, Rebecca knew that she'd get pregnant again, and would not enter the medical system.

She had a completely wild, peaceful pregnancy, and free birth with just her family present.

(Be sure to check out our instagram page this week @healingbirth to see photos of this birth, and the "potato embryo"!)
