This is a story of renewed faith. It is about believing in one's body and asking for support.
Despite being told by traditional OBs that there was only a 13% chance of having a homebirth after her first cesarean, Jennica chose to invest in herself financially, mentally, physically and emotionally to make make sure she had what she needed to safely birth her second child (who, BTW, was 9 pounds 12 oz at birth!) at home.
In this podcast, we will not only hear mom’s perspective, but we also hear from dad.
If you know of someone who is considering an HBAC (especially if the partner is unsure) please do pass on this podcast.
