Freebirth!

I am firmly in the pro-freebirth camp. (Freebirth was a term coined by the late, great Jeannine Parvati Baker). And for the record it IS legal in the UK. Just because the vast majority of professionals in the birthing field and social workers are unaware of it, doesn’t mean it’s not true! What the law states is that someone not trained in birth ‘care’ can not ‘deliver’ the baby. The mother has every right to birth her own baby without assistance or supervision.

At The Mother magazine our ethos regarding birth is that we don’t wish to perpetuate the belief that birth is ‘dangerous or painful’, but rather, that birth can be beautiful, ecstatic and indeed, orgasmic, just as nature intended.”
