From Trauma to Triumph: Molly's Freebirth in France
We’re closing out an incredible Season 5 with Molly from France. After an unexpected pregnancy at a young age, Molly describes her traumatic birth with her first daughter as a "a second rape".
She suffered physically, mentally, and emotionally, and promised herself she'd never give birth in a hospital again. With her second pregnancy, she dreamed of a freebirth, and with her third, she brought her dream to fruition-after removing herself from the spiral of medical pathology, and choosing a peaceful pregnancy. She gave her family the biggest gift- and birthed her daughter in full freedom.
