Episode Description
In this of the Pain Free Birth podcast, Karen Welton sits down with Anastasia Malyk, a mother of four, to share one of the most jaw-dropping birth stories you will ever hear.
After experiencing two prior free births, Anastasia found herself unexpectedly pregnant with mono-di identical twins just seven months postpartum. What followed was a journey marked by medical pressure, fear-based recommendations, spiritual surrender, and unwavering trust in God’s design for her body.
This episode is a bold testimony of faith, bodily wisdom, and the importance of advocacy in pregnancy and birth. It is especially encouraging for twin moms, women navigating medical pressure, and anyone seeking reassurance that physiological birth is possible, even when circumstances seem stacked against you.

- What led Anastasia to choose free birth for her first two babies
- How she navigated fear and faith after learning she was pregnant with twins
- Why she fired her OB after being pressured into a cesarean
- What it was like carrying twins past 41 weeks
- How labor progressed so quickly she didn’t believe it was real
- What it felt like to birth twins with no pushing and no pain
- How faith shaped every decision throughout pregnancy and birth
- Encouragement for twin moms who desire a natural or physiological birth
