Delving into the birthing realms this week with the wonderful
Sheryl Sidery. Sheryl has been practicing midwifery since 1985. The
experience of her first birth lead her into this
beautiful line of work. She felt alone and unsupported. She
felt that no one was aware of what an enormous life changing
experience becoming a mother is, and so she became a midwife. She
wanted to be truly “with woman” as she embarks on motherhood –
feeling strong, confident, transformed and joyful. For her, that’s
what midwifery is all about. Her primary philosophy is that
pregnancy and birth is a period of great transformation, one that
is necessary for parenting. She finds that having one-to-one
midwifery care throughout pregnancy, birth and early parenting
provides the best start to life with a newborn.
In this interview we cover:
- The current state of the modern medical birthing system in Australia
- How women’s bodies are designed to have natural births when supported
- Keys to ensuring birthing occurs without intervention
- The biggest myths when it comes to conscious birthing
- Why home births are the new black
- How to prepare a woman’s body for an easy birth
- And so much more.
