This is the 60th birth at home story!
And it shared by Racheal in Victoria, mum to 2 babies both born at home. Growing up Rachael, alike many people, thought homebirth was a bit ‘woo woo’. Meeting her home birthed husband, now paramedic, they began on a homebirth journey for their 2 babies, choosing private midwifery care.
We also chat about the emotional experience of the baby when it is born, its transition to life outside the womb and the impact of social media on perceptions and understandings of birth. Racheal also shares her experience with homebirth after significant perineal and cliteral tearing.
