[Birth Stories] Weaving Together Four Unmedicated Births to Reveal Her Authentic Self, with Ujarak Appadoo

One of the biggest surprises for Ujarak Appadoo when she first got pregnant was that she would need to prepare or adjust for living in a pregnant body and giving birth. She’d figure she’d just carry on doing life as she’d seen her peers do, and that everything would unfold without much fuss. So began her long journey of transformation through four births, which included having to accept not being able to birth with midwives in her location of choice due to lack of access; experiencing, birthing, and grieving the 19-week pregnancy loss of her third daughter; and ultimately discovering she needs ample space for birth and postpartum, so she can stand in her power, and lovingly care for herself and her family, in community.
