Welcome back! In this episode, I want to discuss what birth looked like in ancient times and how it's evolved to include the standards many of us go by today. In this episode I discuss:
• Where, when, how and with who people gave birth in ancient times
• Why the shift from midwife to doctor happened
• The origins of hospital birth and "pain free" birth
• Losing our innate and inherited wisdom around birth
• The link between the Women's Rights Movement and birth autonomy
• How doulas answered the call for more support and wisdom in the birth space
• Doulas in the obstetrical system
As mentioned in this episode, I have an online community on Patreon where like-minded people can dive deeper into the topics discussed.
