The three mothers taught me how to give birth to a third child in a caravan without the help of medical care.

Six weeks ago, Cornwall-born Chloe Patchut, 32, welcomed her daughter Romee in an unusual way.

The three mothers also freely gave birth to two older daughters, 4-year-old Ona and 2-year-old Kobe.

Both children were born in the caravan where the family lived at the time.

“Being free is taking responsibility for your own health and education, and being more aware of how to take care of yourself and your body,” Chloe said.

“There is another way of looking at childbirth. This is not considered a medical event. This is a natural process and does not require a doctor.

“I heard about free births in various books on the Internet, and my friend gave birth for free, so when I got pregnant with my daughter Ona, I was inspired and it’s right to do it. I felt that.

“I heard a lot of horror stories about giving birth in hospital, but that was not natural.”

Despite being confident in her decision, friends and family expressed concern about her choice, but promised to call 911 if anything went wrong.

“People trusted me more a second and third time after the first successful delivery and they didn’t think I was crazy or reckless,” she said.

Despite being born free with all the children, each one was welcomed in different parts of the world.

Ona was born in a static caravan where her family lived in Devon. Coby was born in another static caravan and Romil was born in a family camp in Cornwall.

“My last free pregnancy and birth experience went well,” Chloe said. I wasn’t scanning, I was trusting my body to raise my baby.

“I didn’t have to prepare for the birth at all.

“I only had towels in the bath bun, and that was the night I was alone in the bath bun.

“Of course, I wish I had a partner for the first two children, but being alone meant I could get into the zone without being distracted.

“It took about two and a half hours to welcome Romil into the world.”

After the placenta was delivered, Chloe buried it in her garden.

“The lack of stakeholders means that there is no one to minimize their wishes for their delivery,” he explained.

“It is also a positive experience for the children as they are exposed to a calm and peaceful environment.

“All my babies were born really awake and crying. She immediately put on the skin and nursed.

“It’s a great experience. It’s an intuitive experience that doesn’t require anyone outside to monitor and control it.

“I was able to connect with my body and my baby, let the natural process happen naturally, and trust that process.”

“People don’t have to control what should happen naturally.”
