On today’s show, Dani, takes us through her journey to bring her two daughters earthside. 

Moving overseas with her husband was a venture they both wanted to tick off their bucketlist before settling down. Only 8 months into their planned 2 year trip Dani had a surprise positive pregnancy test. Once pregnant, she reflecting back to a past Yoga Retreat where a mother shared her empowering birth stories, reminding her that it was possible to love your birth experience.

Although her planned homebirth didn’t eventuate for varies reasons, Dani encompassed surrender and trust to the path in front of her. With the hospital an hour and half away, she takes us through the intensity of holding on when she realised her birth was unfolding quicker than expected.  

When the time came to conceive their second child, Dani quickly secured a private midwife for her dream homebirth. The lesson of surrendering would flow through her entire journey as her birth plans slowly unravelled; revealing to her the true power of birth and what her body, and baby, are capable of. 

Dani shares the foretelling joke her husband made about freebirthing, and the innocent mishap that left her without a midwife.
