Homebirth after caesarean transfer (repeat caesarean), the benefits of private midwifery when things don't go as planned || Haley's birth of Remy (New South Wales)

This is the 70th birth story and it’s shared by Haley mum of 2 living on Awabakal country. 

After a traumatic first caesarean with her first baby Nora, Haley eventually chose to hire a private midwife and plan her homebirth and vaginal birth after caesarean with baby Remy. 

Haley shares her pregnancy journey, her labour at home and ultimately the decision to transfer into hospital, which ended up resulting in a second caesarean. Haley’s story really is incredible, whilst we laugh a lot, this story really shows how valuable private midwifery care can be as it really influenced how amazing her experience was, despite everything, finding herself for the second time having a surgery she didn’t plan to have. 

In this episode we do talk about birth trauma in reference to her first birth so please be mindful when listening. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do.
