Delia: Four Home Births. Trust, Transforming Fear and Birthing on Her Own Terms.
Delia shares her four powerful home birth stories that began when she was a young midwife trainee who discovered her pregnancy at 26 weeks. From catching each baby in her own hands to navigating birth as a young student, her stories exemplify trusting intuition and creating empowered experiences.
- Serendipitously discovering Ina May Gaskin's "Spiritual Midwifery" as a midwifery student and how that awakened her trust in physiological birth
- Working in the hospital during pregnancy as a trainee midwife and witnessing interventions that reinforced her desire for homebirth
- Experiencing pain-free birth by focusing on breath, trust and staying in the flow during labor and how this experience is possible for everyone
- Facing and moving through fear before and during birth
- Catching all her babies in her own hands
- Breastfeeding successfully despite being told by her family that she wouldn't be able to nurse
- Using instinctive knowledge during her second birth when she asked for a passionate kiss to relax her body
- Trusting her intuition
- Breaking away from her family's birth culture where all births were cesareans and breastfeeding wasn't practiced
