S7 EP195: Rachel Chevell: Four-Year Long Fertility Journey, Natural Conception at 41, Positive Hospital Birth
On today’s episode, Rachel shares the deeply personal four-year journey that led her to her beautiful daughter.
After experiencing her first miscarriage, Rachel received a message through a close friend that her baby would return, but that she needed to find herself first. That experience became the beginning of everything that followed.
Rachel takes us through the years of healing and transformation that came next. From leaving Sydney and starting again on the Gold Coast, to finding a new community and exploring a more holistic way of living, she became deeply committed to nurturing her body and mind.
Four years after their journey began, she naturally conceived her daughter in her forties.
When labour began at home, Rachel drew on everything she had learnt - using the tools, knowledge and trust she had built throughout pregnancy to fully surrender to the experience. Arriving at the hospital just ten minutes before her daughter was placed into her arms.
