#97 - Anjali's home birth story

This is Anjali's story. She attempted to birth all her three children at home and lives right behind my house.  First two were in the village and the youngest is in the city. The second birth was a transfer after laboring at home for quite a while, the baby was 1kg.

The first time I met her was when my house help Rani didi who actively works as an informer for me on people birthing at home and dais in the vicinity, took me to her house. Divi, my daughter came along.

"Mama! I can also climb this tree", Divi asks me really seeking permission if its safe to follow Anjali's daughter, younger to her and adept at plucking baby oranges from the taller branches.

When we talk about Birth as safe or unsafe essentially , we also need to learn how birth unfolds essentially (from these people who live a more natural life than any instagram reel can talk us into) and then invite interventions where really needed. Just like divi saw how a girl younger to her could organically learn to climb , she could watch and follow by example, with more motivation and less fear.

What is really happening in the birth world today is , we start with inducing healthy low risk mothers because we fear they will not go into labor, like Whattttt! And that is what really has gone wrong in birth , not new age women, mind you!

Now what does data tell me - 'I do not know'! Most of us never look at the conditions in which a research or study was done. To my work as a birth counsellor and doula/birthkeeper , this is my data. Real people and I have no funding or inherent interests to mould it in any other way than it is.
