In today’s episode of the Tribe of Suns Podcast our guest, Uzuri shares the birth stories of her 1st pregnancy and her 5th(most recent) pregnancy. We hear how she gained the wisdom necessary to make her latest birth better than her first. Anxiety and the stories of others permeated her thoughts with her first labor and she was not having that this time around. She protected her peace and only reached out to those that came with that same goodness. We spend a good amount of the episode discussing the importance of supporting mothers through pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. With her first birth taking 25.5 hours and her fifth taking approximately 4, Uzuri attributes the long drawn out labor to her “acting a fool” screaming and not being in control. She attributes this most recent outcome with having gained the tools needed throughout her other 3 births, including utilizing Hypnobirthing-esqe techniques like deep focused breathing. Understanding fully what it means to a black birthing woman in this world, Uzuri couldn’t help but to think about the plight of other black birthing women. She is adamant about women’s roles in supporting birthing mothers, advising from a positive standpoint. Women have to take back the control of their births, and we do that by passing down wisdom amongst our people. Some of that wisdom includes understanding that mamas need support on an ongoing basis after childbirth. It doesn’t stop after a couple of weeks postpartum. #newpodcastalert #blackpodcaster #birthstoriespodcast #podsincolor #wocpodcasters #dopeblackpodcasts #blackwomenpodcast #birthstories #herstory #podcastlife #mommypodcaster #podcast #podcasting #podcastlife #podcaster #podcasters #applepodcast #entrepreneur #interview #newpodcast #spotifypodcast #tribeofsuns #maternalhealthadvocate #tribeofsunspodcast #blackmaternalhealthcrisis #birthstory #birthstories #blackbirthstories #yourbirthmatters #birthoutcomes https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPFcMDA0Hi/?igshid=9js5u1u3m7lf
