Are you aware of how powerful your intuition can be during childbirth? We invite you to join us on the latest episode of the Radiant Mission podcast, where we discuss the magnificence of physiological birth and the profound impact it has on the birthing experience. We're joined by Courtney Valdez, a fervent advocate for autonomous birth and a mother who shares her transformative journey from a medicalized hospital birth to an empowering birthing center experience.
Courtney's story is a testament to the power of making informed choices, and she passionately emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit and our God-given intuition in birth. We don't shy away from sharing our personal encounters with medical interventions during childbirth and the effect on our connection with our newborns. Our reflections center around the significance of skin-to-skin contact for initiating milk production and our choice for a home birth for our next child. Together, we hope to inspire you to research and unlearn traditional birthing methods for a more natural and peaceful birth experience.
As we dive deeper into the episode, we explore the invaluable role of midwives in shaping your birth experience, discussing our experiences with interviewing them and understanding the importance of trust and rapport in this critical relationship. We touch upon the different types of midwives, their legal implications, and the concept of free birth. We end with a beautiful home birth story, a story of redemption that encapsulates a peaceful and supportive environment for a positive birth experience. Our hope is to empower all expecting mothers to remember their authority over their birth and to courageously explore unconventional paths. This episode is a celebration of birth, the lessons we learn from it, and the empowerment it brings.
