  • Resumen

  • In this episode our guest, Esmeralda, shares her personal experiences of transitioning from a doula to a birth keeper. She discusses her shift from attending hospital births to solely home births due to mental anxiety and the disconnect she noticed between midwives and their clients. She narrates her journey through three pregnancies and births—each unique in its own way. Her first birth, a traumatic hospital experience, led her to pursue home births for her subsequent pregnancies. She details the preparations, challenges, and ultimate empowerment she felt during her second and third births, which were attended by a supportive doula in a more sovereign manner. Additionally, she speaks about her mission to support other women in reclaiming their birth experiences through mindset preparation and taking radical responsibility. She also introduces her online mentorship programs and her shop for birth and birth worker merchandise. The episode highlights the importance of personal empowerment, mindset, and the transformative journey of birth work. 00:00 Introduction and Personal Journey into Birth Work 01:35 Challenges with Traditional Midwifery 02:51 The Disconnect in Medicalized Births 07:06 First Medicalized Birth Experience 26:58 Postpartum Reflections and Breastfeeding Challenges 33:08 Discovering Home Birth and Free Birth 48:02 Early Labor Signs and Timing 48:32 Labor Progression and Pain Management 51:44 Birthing the Placenta 56:02 Postpartum Recovery and Nutrition 01:05:00 Tandem Nursing and Breastfeeding Challenges 01:09:57 Unexpected Third Pregnancy 01:14:26 Fast Labor and Water Birth 01:33:08 Empowered Birth Practices and Support EPISODE LINKS - ESMERALDA.
