In this important episode, Capri shares (in a round-about way) a bit of her previous/first baby's birth story and how that influenced plans for her current pregnancy and next birthing experience, She went into her first pregnancy and birth with a greater dependence on her care providers, less knowledge and more naivety. Circumstances out of her control led her into the unexpected position of birthing in her (almost) complete power - without her providers assistance, which proved to be incredibly mind-opening and game changing. After this, there was no turning back. Over the last few years, her interest in the intersection of birth as a money making medical industry (for doctors and midwives alike) and birth as a natural, normal timeless physiological event has grown. The contrast of seeing/hearing/observing all the vast experiences and perspectives women have of birthing "in the system", all while being connected to a large diverse network of women who are having wild, autonomous free births - is blinding.Too blinding to not talk about openly.When she made the decision, during her current baby's gestation, to have a Wild Pregnancy and Free Birth she did debate if sharing about it with others was the right thing for her, knowing that not everyones perspective is as broad on this topic. And being that it's such a personal decision, she hesitated on letting people know to avoid having anyone inflict their own fear into her space. However, it didn't take long for her to overcome that and realize that there are other women who need to hear this reality. Not those that are fully committed to being indoctrinated by a mindset that will keep them forever relying on an over-dose of medical intervention for natural processes, but for the women who know there has to be another choice (this goes beyond birth, too). For women creating an experience that goes beyond what others expect of them-  and is much more mother-centered, empowered, and ultimately a completely healthy and positive choice for the vast majority for those that walk this path. And has been for thousands and thousands of years. A couple great resources that were mentioned in podcast:www.freebirthsociety.com - A global community of women exploring and celebrating the power of instinctual, mother-led pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Free Birth Society Podcastwww.sarahbuckley.com - Dr Sarah Buckley
