Welcome to Natural MD Radio, your place to hear the whole truth on health and medicine for women and children and get the tools you need to take back your health naturally starting now.

I'm Dr. Aviva Rong. Hey everybody. Today I have the honor and privilege of bringing a really special guest and there are not many guests that will probably ever be on my show that I can say I've known this person since before she was born and that is the case with my guest today.

Lila Henderson is a wonderful, incredible new mom.

And the reason I knew her before she was born is because her mom,

Seron, was my midwife teacher and my midwife or my baby.

So I met her mama when I was 18 years old and her mama took me under her wing and has been one of my dearest,

closest friends. You know that kind of friend we used to joke and call each other like our two o'clock in the morning friend because that friend you can call and say anything to it any time of day and if you need to talk if something's on your mind you can still call them that's Lila's mom for me, Serran. And so Serran was my midwife teacher and her beautiful daughter

Lila who we're going to be hearing from today just had her first baby a couple of weeks ago and Lila invited me to be an assistant

midwife at her birth to her mama who was midwifeifing her baby and joining us was also a really special

guest sister Nasra who had been Seron's midwifery teacher and partner and also was one of my teachers and midwife at one of my birth.

So it was a pretty sacred amazing experience and to round things out, Sister Nasra and Sister Serran had also been the midwife to Lila's partners at

Lila's partner's birth, so the baby's daddy, Te Kesta, was also born at home with sister Seron and sister Nasra.

So today Lila is joining me to talk with us and share her incredibly beautiful and recent

birth experience.

So she's coming to us from outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

And Lila, thank you for taking time

as a busy new mom to join me today. I really appreciate it. I am so thankful to be able to

share my story with you in the world. It was such amazing birth experience and I really appreciate you being there.

And when my mom asked me well who do you want at your birth I knew exactly who I want to

I want to you my monocera and her and I was able to have it and I'm just so

thankful for that. Well it was one of those life experiences that kind of just I think just you you know for me

so I'm so filled with gratitude to have been there with you to now have little Nandi as my little feels like you know one of the little
