This episode is a first for the podcast: I’m sharing a home birth story. While I primarily focus on hospital births, I wanted to learn more and see what we might take away from this experience to make hospital births better.

Lauren joins me to share her beautiful, deeply thoughtful journey into birthing from home after having her first baby in a hospital. This wasn’t a choice she made lightly - she did her research, worked with a trained provider, and had a backup plan in place. What she found was a level of trust, respect, and personalized care that’s worth talking about. Even if home birth isn’t on your radar, this story offers powerful lessons that anyone preparing for birth can take to heart.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

  • Why Lauren chose home birth for her second delivery
  • How she weighed the risks and benefits of hospital vs home birth
  • Who made up her support team
  • How she prepared for the possibility of a hospital transfer
  • What changed when Lauren labored in a space that was hers
  • Which position she gave birth in
  • What it was like to rest in her own bed right after birth
  • How the birth certificate and paperwork were handled
