A Conversation on Giving Birth in Turkey and Cultural Differences
EPISODE 27
I’ll be taking a break from our “Mothers Around the World” series for the time being. To close things out, we’re joined by a mom living in Turkey. Sarah shares what it’s like to live and parent in the Middle East and how it compares to experiences in the States.
Sarah Bahiraei is a writer, teacher, wife, and mom. Once upon a time, she hopped a plane to the Middle East with a one-way ticket in hand. Now she lives in Turkey with her husband, Afshin, and daughter, Esther. She has a heart for humanitarian work, refugee aid and relief, advocating on behalf of others, and writing down unseen stories. She writes about faith, immigration, and living in the in-between on her blog onefootonboth.com.
In this episode we discuss:
-Sarah’s prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience -The high rate of c-sections in Turkey -Cultural differences between Turkey and the United States -Private and public schooling
