Question

“Hi Vanessa, Thank you for your podcast. My husband and I aren’t ready to have children yet, but we are looking into the future, and your podcast has been an amazing resource.  I have a question about Lotus Birth. It looks like a gentle, spiritually-minded way to welcome a baby into the world, but I’m worried about how safe it is. Are there any scientific studies about Lotus Birth that you can share?” – Krista
