Welcome to the 31st episode of the Back to Human podcast.
Joining me on this episode is returning guest Ste Lane. Ste is the creator of the Peak Human Solution, a transformative online holistic coaching program. Ste is also the host of a great podcast called Radical Health Radio.
I had the honor of interviewing Ste shortly after welcoming his second baby boy, Indy, into this world. He and his wife, Nicole, chose to bring Indy earthside is a seemingly radical way. They opted for a free birth and wild pregnancy which is what we discuss on this episode. Some of the topics covered on this show include:
• What is a free birth and wild pregnancy?
• How we aren’t really experiencing desirable outcomes despite increased obstetrical spending, testing and interventions
• What Nicole’s first birth looked like and how interventions ultimately led to a cesarean section
• How ultrasounds are damaging to the baby
• The cascade of interventions; once synthetic oxytocin (Pitocin) is introduced, the likelihood of c-sections skyrockets
• How some women in the free birth society go well beyond their estimated due date
• How Nicole passed a massive clot with the birth of Indy and considered this closure of the physical trauma from her first birth
• Ste’s role throughout the pregnancy and Nicole’s labor
• How giving birth is a right of passage for women
• How this was the most transformative experience for Nicole and what she felt like after labor
• How the very first moments of our lives are potentially filled with trauma
• Why they chose not to go with a certified midwife which may have saved them another trip to the hospital
• Were there any doubts that came up throughout Nicole’s labor?
• Surrendering and stepping into faith
• What Nicole was doing throughout the pregnancy to prepare for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean)
• Finding a supportive online community (Free Birth Society)
• What it was like for Ste to catch his baby boy
