Episode 8 - Giving Birth at Home

Listen to this episode from The Great Birth Rebellion on Spotify. Mel talks with Aimee Aroha (@aimeearoha) about giving birth at home along the full spectrum from freebirth to homebirth. We discuss the research about homebirth, freebirthing culture and what it means to be fully autonomous and liberated at and by your birth wherever you choose to birth. We discuss authoritative knowledge about birth and why decolonising and demedicalising birth is a rebellious act in a society that values making birth medical.
