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.

Maryn, thank you for your inspirational, wise, and encouraging podcasts. I listen to them nearly daily as I go about the tasks of caring for my family of 7, and working as a physician (! – yes, I know). Your insights have helped me to change and explore my ideas of doctoring, and I share many of your concepts with my first and second year medical students, to whom I teach physical exam and doctor-patient relations.
This podcast was interesting and informational (as ever), and it led me to Bridget’s website, where I am enjoying perusing some of her posted recipes. However, I thought she mentioned an e-cookbook in the podcast, and I cannot seem to find that. If this does exist, would you be able to post a link to it? I am interesting in purchasing it and supporting her work (and cooking some great food for my family too!).
Thank you so much for your work.
This podcast was AWESOME! As a vegan mama who had a healthy plant-based pregnancy (it was 25% vegetarian, 75% vegan) – I fully support this message. Soaking and sprouting is very important, as is paying attention to protein and calcium intake. It’s very easy to do on a vegan diet if you are informed and knowledgeable about individual foods. Organic and local is also critically important. And yes, I had eggs for about 10 weeks during my pregnancy although I am normally a very strict vegan – I listened to my body, and when I no longer had the craving for eggs, I didn’t bother with them anymore. I have a 10 month old healthy baby girl.
In general, I love all of these podcasts and how unapologetic the information is. I will be teaching childbirth classes starting next month (Bradley method). I had a home birth myself with midwives last year for my first baby, and I love how much insight and more holistic I have become even sense having that experience. Your podcasts have definitely shaped my thinking in a more revolutionary way when it comes to birthing. Thank you!
Hey you guys talked about smoothies on the podcast, would you guys be willing to share the ideal smoothie/smoothies? Thanks, this episode has really helped me figure out how to prepare for baby #3
What if a vegan mama has a nut allergy?
