S01E04 Mihaela: Breech Birth. Positive, Self-determined and Empowering Breech Birth Experience.
Resources from Mihaela under this description
Mihaela shares her empowering breech birth story, defying medical expectations through tenacity and informed decision-making to deliver her daughter naturally at Hirslanden Clinic in Aarau, Switzerland.
• First-time mother determined to have a natural birth despite baby being in breech position
• Used hypnobirthing techniques to prepare mentally and emotionally with her partner
• Faced significant pressure from medical professionals to have a scheduled cesarean birth
• Found a supportive doctor willing to support natural breech birth after changing providers multiple times
• Experienced a surprisingly fast six-hour labor despite being a first-time mom with a breech baby
• Baby was born naturally with her hand up alongside her face in the breech position
• Learned from an acupuncturist that "breech babies usually stay like that because they want to be close to the mom's heart"
• Advocates for women to be drivers of their birth experience through education and preparation
• Describes the birth as transformative and empowering, creating a new birth legacy for her daughter
• Emphasizes the importance of finding the right care provider who respects informed choice
Never give up and try to find the best place for you to give birth on your terms and never on others' terms.
