In this episode, I share all the details of my positive home birth story with my third daughter, Harper! From navigating pregnancy decisions to the amazing, intense moment of welcoming my baby at home, I reflect on how this experience reinforced my passion for supporting others on their birth journeys as a midwife.
What to expect:
- My decision behind choosing a home birth over a birth center or hospital birth…
- A detailed description of my recent home birth, including the emotions and challenges I faced…
- How my two older daughters were involved and met their new baby sister for the first time…
- The challenges of the immediate postpartum period…
- How I was able to stay in control even though labor progressed quickly…
- … and insights into how this experience has shaped my approach as a midwife and birth advocate.
Tune is as I recount this transformative experience and explore the deeper connection between autonomy in birth and a positive birth outcome. Whether you're considering a home birth or simply interested in empowering birth stories, this episode offers inspiration and practical insights for your own journey!
