In this episode, we meet, Kara, a mother of two. Kara had both of her children in a same-sex relationship with her partner. Her first pregnancy was an IVF baby in 2019 with a planned hospital birth. The pregnancy was fairly low-key. Kara experienced prodrominal labour for a few days and that was quite challenging and exhausting for her.

EP115 | It takes a village to raise a homebirth mother
The VBAC Homebirth Stories Podcast
by Ashley Winning
5M ago
In this episode, I share a little bit of my take on the phrase - it takes a village to raise a baby/ mother. I believe it takes a village to raise a mother, and unfortunately in this modern day world many of us have lost our village. So it's extra important for us to be vigilant, and mindful, and take steps each day to create our own circle of support. I share some ways you can create your circle of support in your homebirth journey with some low-cost, free, and higher-cost supports available. It's time to think outside the box, get on saving for your dream team, and create your ideal life and ..read more

In this episode, I share with you some ways you can tune into your intuition. Often we find it hard to know when we are having intuition, or something that is showing as a fear disguised as intuition. I'm going to share the difference between fears and intuition, and how you can navigate the difference between the two and tap into your intuition - so when it comes time to birth your baby you are able to listen to within.

The VBAC Homebirth Stories Podcast
by Ashley Winning
6M ago
In this episode, I share some birth positions that may be helpful during your VBAC Homebirth, and I share my ideas on birth positions and the big focus I see happening in the birth world. What if I told you that you don't need to know all of the birth positions to birth your baby at home? What if I told you that it could in some ways be counter intuitive to be in your mind trying to remember what position you need to be in during labour. What if I told you that you don't need someone directing your body on what position to be in during labour? What if I told you that you have been sold a lie t ..read more

EP112 | Open Conversations & Expectations with your Birth Team
The VBAC Homebirth Stories Podcast
by Ashley Winning
6M ago
In this episode, I talk about how to start open conversations and communicate your expectations for your birth with your birth team. Being able to communicate effectively with your birth team is an important skill and requirement for any team to work together. If you don't feel safe to share your feelings, thoughts or communicate your needs this could lead to distrust, assumptions and you could start to create walls between you and your birth team. While I don't feel it should be the womans responsibility to initiate this conversation and many people working in this space providing support ..read more

by Ashley Winning

In this episode, I speak with Julz and she shared with me her story of a beautiful, supported rural HBAC. It took Julz over 12 months to conceive her first baby, and while she was going through that journey she was working in a corporate job. It was fairly normalised to book in with an OBGYN during pregnancy for care. She didn't put much consideration into birth, as a first time mother, like so many first time mothers she was more interested in the pram and organising baby things. Julz was at the park with her partner swinging on a swing when her waters broke. She ended up going into hospit ..read more
