I'm so excited for you to hear Ashley's THREE birth stories. Have a listen to her journey through two challenging experiences ending in surgical birth, followed by her decision to take radical responsibility when she stepped outside of the maternity system in Australia.
Ashley's journey to parenthood was definitely filled with bumps along the way, including medical anti-fat bias that impacted the care she received and the decisions she made during her third pregnancy.
You'll hear us discuss:
- Ashley's experiences with weight stigma during all of her pregnancies
- How anti-fat bias limited her options and set her up for experiences with higher intervention
- Ways Ashley advocated for herself and her babies
- The reasons why Ashley decided to freebirth her baby at home and the stark contrast between her in-hospital and out of hospital birth(s)
