Considering a homebirth? Today, I’m sharing why I choose to give birth at home instead of in a hospital. I’ll walk you through 6 practical reasons that led to this decision.

We'll go over what it means to give birth at home with a homebirth midwife, the cost of homebirth, the mess, how to get your husband on board and why I feel confident this is a safe way to meet my baby. 

Whether you're curious about home birth, considering natural birth options, or just want a behind-the-scenes look at what this process is like, this episode will give you an honest, encouraging perspective from a Christian mom’s point of view.
