Questions About This Episode

What is A Fast Water Birth as an “Older” Mum about?

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Shiva Shiva is a mom of three and stepmom of one, originally from Turkey and now raising their four boys with her husband in Denver, Colorado. Half Iranian and half Turkish, she’s a bilingual psychotherapist whose work in health psychology, PTSD, perinatal mental health, and parenting is shaped by cultural diversity and a commitment to health equity across communities. She is devoted to raising heart-centered boys, the practice of yoga, and exploring women’s liberation and bodily autonomy in West Asia, threads that powerfully shaped her three physiologic births. This is the second time Shiva guests this podcast and she comes with so much birthing wisdom yet again. Shivas first episode is called Riding the waves and power of birth through mantra and is the 10th most listened to birth story of all time. I hope you’ll enjoy this one as much as her first. This was her third natural birth and her second home birth. The time period of the pregnancy had a good bit of stress and hardship and she was concerned that with the stress and her age, she wouldn't be able to have the birth she wished for. But she decided to trust and nature did what it is good at. It heard the whispering of what she dared to hope for, and it went so smoothly, exactly as she had hoped: a fast, healthy water birth at home witnessed by two of the older brothers.
