‘I had a lotus birth and left my placenta attached’:
If you've never heard of a lotus birth - don't worry, you're not alone! We dive into exactly what a lotus birth is and why you might want one as well as sharing one mum's experience of a lotus birth. A lotus birth is when a mother births her baby and placenta but chooses to leave the cord uncut so the two are attached until the cord falls off on its own.
Rather than enter the NHS system, I hired an independent midwife who was comfortable with lotus birth and with my decision to give birth at home with a doula, without a midwife present. I’d done my research, had experience of lots of births and knew my pregnancy was straightforward. If the baby or I were at risk at any point, my plan was to go to the hospital.
I got the children to help fill the birthing pool up. I’d always planned for them to be at the birth, and had prepared them by watching real-life birth clips on YouTube. At 11am, I eased myself into the warm water, which felt incredibly soothing. "Then I felt another overwhelming urge to push, and the baby’s body slid out. Catching him in the water was an amazing experience. Five minutes later, my husband arrived to find me cuddling our new son, Oren, in the water.
