Mother of 11: 4 Inductions, 6 Unassisted, 1 With Traditional Birth Attendants

Today we have our first grand multipara on the show, meaning a woman who has given birth five or more times. Julie has had 11 children and is currently living in Arizona. From her first baby at 16 years old in the hospital with forced interventions and rough treatment she went on to continue to be induced with her next three children in hospital. So after four babies, she chose with the support of her husband to birth on her own and trust and allow labor to work it’s magic. Julie goes on to have six completely unassisted births and celebrated her most recent birth in the presence of two trusted traditional birth attendants.
