Meet the duo behind Indie Birth
We are mamas and midwives who decided to do birth differently– and bring others along with us. We are radical, fun to work with, and great at (lovingly) calling people on their bullshit to help move us all towards a new more beautiful world. With 12 children and over two decades of midwifery between us, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and Indie Birth is our space to share it all with you.

Hi Maryn, could you point me in the direction of the paper on risk of infection when the waters are open (the one that when correcting for vaginal exams, the risk is basically zero)? My hypnobabies instructor would love to have this information for her doula clients. Thanks!
Wonderful, thankyou! Day 5 opening of waters 😉
It’s very difficult working as a doula in the “real world” and watching a client go up against these political guidelines of how things should be done… and then coming back to your podcast (not just this one of course) and finding out that a birth could’ve been soooo different, had the mother known this information… or had she hired people truly serving her…
