In this episode of Taking Back Birth, I focus on creating some clarity around what is often a confusing topic. Many women fret unnecessarily about baby position; and a baby in a posterior position in pregnancy can cause a lot of stress!

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.

This was so much fun to listen too!! It really got my mind seeking and thinking about my last pregnacy and labor* Always Love hearing about our lifestyle positioning in effects to our babies. And the reminder that Our Babies Know what they Need <3
Thankyou so much for this. You have massively eased my mind.
I agree that modern life is more sedentary and there are more general body misalignment issues (cell phone use, bad sleep posture, tight clothes, etc.). But I was also thinking that our ancestors had to do long stagecoach rides and bend over to stoke a fire or launder by hand. I think we forget that they had a lot of physical strains because of their slow, more natural way of life. Even my grandmothers remember how they had to cook on an open fire and go down to the river for running water. And I’m only 30. Every generation has its aches and pains. Some less.
