On today’s episode, Yasmin shares her journey of preparing for a home birth and how she navigated the unexpected twists with resilience.. Yasmin's journey toward birth began long before she even met her husband. She consciously chose to fill her mind with stories of birth that were rooted in strength, empowerment, and love. What truly stood out to her was the undeniable power of birthing in a space that felt safe and familiar—home. When labour began, Yasmin felt excited and ready to embrace the rite of passage that lay ahead..  However, as the hours stretched into days, her experience shifted. Prodromal labour tested her strength in ways she hadn’t anticipated. Exhaustion crept in, and Yasmin, in tune with her intuition, made the decision to transfer to the hospital.  What followed was a testament to Yasmin’s inner fire—the fierce mama within her emerged as she advocated for her desires during her belly birth. In surrendering to the unfolding of her birth experience, Yasmin shares the profound lessons she learnt about releasing control and embracing the flow of birth, wherever it may take you. And in the end, her greatest reward was finally meeting her beautiful 5.8kg baby boy.  Show Notes: Instagram: @yasminbeazley Mentioned in this episode: PBA Surrender Birth Pool Hire Positive Birth Australia's Surrender birth pools, available for hire Australia-wide at just $250.
