This is a really special episode for me to have recorded. When I spoke with Haniyyah, she was the first woman that I had interview for this movement in 1 year! So my excitement was palpable and it felt like a beautiful homecoming.
But I have to say that I was so honoured to share space with Haniyyah and hear her words. She speaks to me about how she is the youngest of 10 kids in a blended family and how she was very involved within the lives of her nieces and nephews are they started to become new additions to the family system.
For her first birth, Haniyyah started in obstetric care, but shortly switched to Midwifery care and felt so much more supported by her choice. Haniyyah was the first of her family to birth her baby at home after many generations of women birthing in the hospital.
After integrating her first birth and already having previous knowledge of birthing free of the system, Haniyyah started to have the feelings that birthing in this way would be what she wanted. Through reaching out to a few friends and finding resources to support her decision to birth her second free of the system, that is what Haniyya did.
Listen to her words as she speaks to the journey of birthing her baby into the world in the way she knew she her body was designed to do.
