Anna's fast birth of her 4th baby in hospital while synthetic oxytocin was being 'threatened' as her membranes had released almost 2 days prior. In this chat we cover: -Miscarriage before Freddy’s…
I just wanted a natural birth at home if possible.
She made a cake and she got like the whole family to sing happy birthday to Fred.
And then a couple of hours later, my waters broke.
And I thought, oh, exciting.
Honestly was at peace with it.
I just thought whatever happens, happens.
I just sort of had trust that it would all work out.
They had threatened Sinto.
Threatened.
You know, they told me I'm going to need Sinto.
And We just did it together.
And they did.
And it was fast.
Once baby Freddie decided he was coming, which was just after they'd been threatened with syntocinin or synthetic oxytocin, he was here, out in the world, only about an hour after established labour started.
Now, I do remember the day that he was born because it was astrologically a pretty special day.
I'm not overly into astrology myself, but I've just had my first ever astrological reading, which was pretty amazing to say the least.
It's really incredible to have someone look at your chart and actually tell you about your life and what you're doing and how things are going quite accurately just from the time, date and location that you were born in.
It's really quite a science and it felt like a whole new language.
The interesting thing is, is that when the astrologist was looking at my chart, when it came to fulfilling your purpose, your life's purpose with work and career, everything, absolutely everything aligned with what I'm currently doing.
Teaching, sharing, communicating, empowering people.
I was told it's absolutely the best thing for me to be doing, which I really appreciate it because it's kind of nice to know that you've found the right groove and you're doing the right thing.
So anyway, baby Freddie was born on a day when a very rare event occurred with all the planets aligning.
