Today I speak with Lala about the first four of her five births. She has experienced the whole plethora of births, from a traumatic cesarean when she was a single teen mum, to an empowering home birth of her very large and awkwardly positioned baby. And everything in between!  In this episode we hear about the early loss of one twin, about the 10 years it took to properly bond with one of her children, about a beautifully supported hospital VBAC, about Lala’s desperate act when she was terrified and powerless - biting a doctor’s arm, about having a baby in NICU, about journeying from naivety and loss of control to taking the reins as an empowered woman… and this is only part 1!  Tune in next week to learn the rest of Lala’s story and to hear about the fabulous path that this all has led Lala down in terms of the birth work she is now involved with.
