Today, I’m speaking with Santhiya. Now, I must note that throughout this interview I had mispronounced her name. It is spelled and looks like “Santhiya”, but her name is Traditionally pronounced as, Sun-dhee-yah.
Getting into this conversation with Santhiya was really lovely, she spoke to me of first stepping into her mothering journey through being the eldest of 3 siblings. She used those experiences of being the kind of way shower for her younger siblings as a pseudo template to raising her own children.
Santhiya shares about:
*Getting pregnant with her first at 27 and not really having any consciousness to preparing for that experience
*Going through her pregnancy journey by ticking all the boxes and doing all the tests that the medical system had laid out for her
*Being belittled and bullied by her care provider to the point of leaving in tears after each appointment
*Feeling very alone, isolated and scared in her first postpartum time
*Getting pregnant 1.5 years after her first was born and choosing to use medical midwives instead of shared care within the hospital like last time
*Being threatened with an induction because Santhiya’s first baby was labelled with IUGR for being small, even though small babies are completely normal
*Finding Rebirthing Breath Work and how that changed Santhiya’s view and awareness on life
*Being surprised with a third baby and knowing that she would birth at home and have things be so much different from her first two births
*Using her breath work practices as guidance for her pregnancy journey free of the medical system
*Being divinely guided by Spirit and having full trust on this journey
*And having her 2 children and husband be the only people to witness this baby be born peacefully in the shower
This was such an awe inspiring and gentle conversation with Santhiya and I know you will glean something beautiful from her words.
