Using Trust and Intuition to Have a Raw and Beautiful Unassisted Birth | Adina Rivers Birth Story

HOME BIRTH STORY - Using Trust and Intuition to Have a Raw, Real and Beautiful Unassisted Birth Experience with Adina Rivers

What do you do when your care providers drop you and tell you to change your birth plan, at 35 weeks?

This is the exact circumstance that Adina Rivers found herself in during her second pregnancy.

Originally planning for a home birth with a midwife, Adina was now facing not only her midwife releasing her from her care, but no other midwife in her area in Bali would take her. Virtually everyone was telling her that she had to have a hospital birth.

“F*** that,” was her basic response. She told her partner Oliver, “we’re going to do it at home.”

Adina walks us through her journey into birth, going back 10 years ago to the birth of her son, to how she makes her choices from her intuition and feeling. Adina’s story is one that emphasizes the opportunity we have to TRUST our bodies and birth. And how sometimes challenges and unforeseen circumstances are exactly the catalysts we need to get out of the way and let divine plans unfold.

Things we talk about in this episode: birth center birth in Berlin, Germany, free/unassisted birth in Bali, being dropped by care providers, trusting in your body, how birth and nature are connected, trusting intuition
