In today’s podcast conversation, I talk with my friend and fellow birthkeeper, Saima Kara, about the brilliance pf physiological birth, and her experience shifting from hospital doula work to being a birth keeper outside of the medical system.  Saima is a radical birthkeeper in the UK, holistic childbirth education teacher, and a powerful voice and leader in the world of supporting women through physiological birth. If you’re even considering being pregnant one day in the future, or if you’ve gone through the birth portal before  and are still unpacking your experience, this one’s for you! We get into: How and why Saima transitioned from mainstream  doula work to serving women outside of the system, and what it took for her to speak her truth The role of physiologic birth, and how it is brilliantly designed to protect the safety of mother-baby The pitfalls of the obstetrical birth model, and unpacking the routine interventions like ultrasounds, inductions, and giving birth on your back The role of evidence, and how our hormonal physiology supports keeping birth undisturbed  How connecting with our cycles is birth preparation in itself!
