The Natural Birth Podcast

Anna from Sacred Birth International hosts this podcast with a simple mission: collect natural birth stories from women around the world. With nearly 300 episodes, she's amassed a genuinely global catalog -- you'll hear from mothers in the US, UK, Australia, Nigeria, and beyond. That international perspective is one of the show's biggest strengths, because it reveals how different healthcare systems shape the birth experience in ways you might not expect. The format is straightforward interview-style conversation. Anna talks with each guest about their pregnancy journey, their birth experience, and what they learned from it. The stories span the full range of natural birth -- home births, birth center births, and unmedicated hospital births. Some go perfectly smoothly. Others involve complications, transfers, and moments of real fear. Anna doesn't shy away from the difficult parts, and she doesn't try to spin every story into a triumph narrative. Her interviewing style is gentle and encouraging. She asks open-ended questions and gives guests plenty of room to tell their stories at their own pace. The 4.7 star rating from 86 reviews reflects a smaller but dedicated audience. Episodes update weekly and generally run about an hour. If you're looking for a podcast that normalizes natural birth through the sheer power of hearing story after story from women who've done it, this one builds confidence through accumulated experience rather than instruction.
