A gift from my TÍA ! We recorded the unwrapping so she could see my reaction, and with that I’ve created my first reel. We’re in business now, baby. How did I do?

Cynthia's beloved husband (Alex and Vanessa's Dad), Eric, tragically passed away a few days ago from cancer, which was only diagnosed this summer. Eric was a beautiful and deeply devoted husband and father.

Cynthia and her children, Alex and Vanessa, need so much love and support now:

Eric's illness rendered him unable to work for the past several months (without paid leave or disability), and now Cynthia needs to have the time and resources to prepare her home and family to move on without him. Their children are now in college and high school, and her task seems monumental to take on without her incredibly capable, present and wonderful man.

🔗Please see the link in our bio to offer support to Cynthia and her family during this incredibly trying time.

Thank you to our beautiful community for all your love and support and understanding during this time of grief. ❤️

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Cynthia

Cynthia is a mama of two from the US and popular podcast host of the Down to Birth Podcast.

She went from being a business executive and finance professor who knew nothing about birth to pregnant after one try, and faced a huge fear of birth. All the women in her surroundings and at her work had C/S while she knew she wanted a natural birth.

Her OB was all red-flags which she will tell us all about. She finally fired her, changed her birth plan from hospital to birth centre, and changed her life.

She’s here to tell us about her two amazing births. Her first at the birth center and her second at home together with her now podcast cohost midwife Trisha.

Having these amazing births she became a birth nerd and later on an internationally published and renowned birth educator and informed choice advocate.

These are the faces and voices of women whose providers said these exact words to them.

The Dead-Baby Card is your cue to leave or show them the exit. Providers need to immediately cease cruel and abusive psychological tactics and follow informed consent practices instead. Listen to Down To Birth Show every Wednesday for evidence based physiologic birth knowledge and to learn how to identify and handle scenarios like these. Thank you to the parents who contributed their stories to @downtobirthshow so we can bring this unethical trend into light.

#235 | Solution or Sham? The Anti-Depressant Industry Exposed with Dr. Roger McFillin of @radicallygenuine radicallygenuine

What if we didn’t treat postpartum depression and anxiety as a disease? What if we didn’t throw a pill at it that only works for about 15% of people and comes with significant and sometimes permanent risk.

In this episode, Dr. McFillin unveils the charade woven by the pharmaceutical industry and underscores the unsettling fact that antidepressants provide relief to a mere fifteen percent of those who turn to them, all while carrying a risk of suicide that’s double that of a placebo.

New episode of @downtobirthshow with @radicallygenuine @cynthiaovergard and @trishaoludwig

⭐️NEW EPISODE ⭐️ #234 Cynthia’s Second Birth Story: Lessons in Trust.

Hello, everyone! It’s Cynthia here. Today, in celebration of my birthday, I want to share the extraordinary story of my daughter’s birth. This personal narrative delves into the pivotal role intuition and self-trust played throughout my conception and pregnancy with her. You’ll learn of some unexpected challenges we faced, and you’ll hear about our unconventional attempt to reposition our breech baby head-down. Definitely don’t try that at home - even though we did.

I hope you enjoy it. Catch Trisha in the outtake.

p.s. I shared my son’s birth story way back in Season One, Episode 10 and you can listen to that here or you can read the published article here.

Hear everyone. Listen to yourself @downtobirthshow
