Oni has been a student of birth since she witnessed the birth of her niece 12 years ago, taking her to study midwifery, birth doula care and craniosacral therapy that she provides for mothers and their babies, and facilitating pregnancy and post partum circles. Now, she stands at the threshold of birth as she waits for the arrival of her first baby.
This interview was recorded in the last weeks of Oni's pregnancy with the proviso that we wait until after her baby is born before we publish it. Two months ago, her little one arrived, and Oni has given her permission to share this interview now. We will catch up with her at some point in the future to hear what she'd like to share about the birth and the early months of motherhood.
Sally interviewed another expectant parent in 2015 and again after the birth, but that time with a father, Paul Crebar. You can hear that interview here: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/paul-crebar-on-expectant-fatherhood--7260253
