#57 - Hehe Stewart: The Gift of Concierge Birth Support

Hehe owns Tranquility by Hehe, a concierge birth support company that focuses on preparing birthing people and their partners for the challenging, exciting, and joyful experience of childbirth. She does a great deal of educating through her hilarious - but on-the-money - Instagram and Tiktok accounts. She's also the host of 'The Birth Lounge Podcast', which might become required listening for anybody at any stage of their conception or pregnancy journey. We get into birth plans, setting boundaries, 'no means no', and we find common ground way outside the confines of the 'wu' closet. It's a great pleasure to have Hehe on the show!

Om Podcasten

The institutions and individuals who run the world would like you to believe that you are powerless. That there's nothing you can do to improve the wellbeing of your family. That you aren't smart enough to understand shmancy science stuff. That eating and living well is too hard for most...so why try? That exercising your rights to informed consent and refusal is irresponsible. That having a birth on you terms, in your own home would be incorrigible. That pregnancy is a disease and childbirth is a medical procedure. That your symptoms are "all in your head". That cervical cancer is an inevitable consequence of HPV infection. They're wrong. Welcome to your revolution.
