In today's episode we interview Matilda, a mum of three babies born at home and a midwife/nurse by trade. 
After Matilda finished her degree she worked inside hospitals and was a second midwife for women who gave birth at home. Once she fell pregnant she knew this was the way she wanted to give birth. 
After working within the system and seeing medicalised birth, Matilda talks about the vicarious trauma she had and how she worked through this during her pregnancies and births. 
Each of Matilda's three births unfolds as a unique narrative, showcasing the remarkable diversity and beauty inherent in the birthing process. From the evolving pace of her labors to the profound intuition guiding her every decision, Matilda's story underscores the transformative power of embracing the birth experience that resonates most deeply with each individual.
