Welcome to The Pretty Intense Podcast. A really interesting guest today. I don't have any children, but this wonderful woman, Lindsey Meehleis, has delivered more than 1500 babies. She has been practicing since 2004 as a traditional, Spiritual Midwife. Today was a historical education of the process of growing a baby, and having a baby, and how that has changed so much over the last 500 years. We talked about the trauma of circumcision, the birth position male doctors dictated for their own comfort, the drugs used in the process. Natural child birth is such a beautiful process, and except for a few medical reasons that might require a hospital, the magic of a home birth can be the most wonderful entry into this world for your baby. We hope you enjoy this episode.
