Summary
Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Cornelia. Cornelia is a mother of two from Sweden and a midwife, having attended around 50 home births and nearly 400 hospital births. She’s the daughter of my friend and home birth midwife Kirsten who’s a guest teacher for the Swedish midwifery craft training I am starting this summer here in Sweden and it’s such a pleasure to have her on. Her mother being the home birth midwife of the village all her life, her connection to birth began early. At just 8 years old, she witnessed her first birth, and since then she has carried a deep knowing that birth is a natural process of life. For her own births, she chose to have her mother as her midwife. A decision rooted not only in trust of her competence, but in the deep safety of their relationship, something she believes is essential in birth. Her first birth began under a super full moon, starting with gentle, menstrual-like sensations that quickly intensified through the night. As labor unfolded, she turned inward, listening to her body and even checking her own progress with her fingers inside. Her second birth also began during the night. This time, the waves were strong from the very beginning, yet still completely manageable. The final moments were deeply intense, requiring full surrender, and soon after, her baby slipped into her own hands. Both births were fast and her stories of deep trust, instinct, and surrender to the power of birth.
