Jenny Blyth - Freebirth from the 1980’s till now

The Renegade Mama ·

2020/11/29

Today on the show I speak to Jenny Blyth. Jenny is a birth worker and educator and author of The Down To Earth Birth Book. Jenny had her first child back in 1979 and it was really interesting to hear what her journey for pregnancy and birth was like back then. Her first birth a hospital birth and last two were freebirths at home. Her approach to doing something that was seemingly “radical” was just so gentle, calm and normal. I sometimes find in the birth world that we can have a tendency to be

2020/11/22

Today on the show I speak with author and academic Dr Rachel Reed. Rachel is an ex-private homebirth midwife who gave up her practise for both political and personal reasons. Like all my interviews - we start with Rachel’s own birth and then chat about the births of her two children - her first when she was only 19. We then go onto her academic career and of course - the politics of birth! What I love about Rachel is; firstly, she is an extremely knowledgeable academic but at the same time - she is

Today on the show I speak with Azure Rigney. Azure’s first daughter Mia was born at 37 weeks in hospital where she had a traumatic experience of her baby being taken away from her, despite her having an APGAR of 9. After this experience and finding out that homebirth was her preferred choice (an option she wasn’t even given or made aware of in her first pregnancy) - she went on to have 2 magical home births which were very fast - just like her first birth. At the time Azure was in the defence force

2020/11/08

Today on the show I speak to my brother Alex and sister in law Laura about their freebirth of their firstborn child Chloe. Alex and Laura aren’t your ‘typical’ freebirthers - if there is such a thing! Laura works in a hospital ED as a Physio and Alex works in the family business as a plumber. They aren’t hippy or particularly political about birth - (although I think this has changed a little after having Chloe) but after researching they came to the understanding that birth works best when it’s

The aftermath of what happened due to government regulations though sounded really traumatic. I hope by talking about this topic I may help

Fleur is Mum to 4 children - 3 of whom she birthed on country - or as Fleur explains to me in our discussion the term she prefers is birthing as country. Her births sound amazing - almost idyllic and dream like. She talks about one birth and how she birthed outside by the river, in-between the gorges - truely magic. Fleur is incredibly insightful, eloquent and really gave me so much
