24 | Sammy's Birth Story - Home Birth and Creating a Safe Haven in Pregnancy and the Birth Space
In today’s episode I speak with Sammy about what she describes as her “magical” home birth experience. We chat about her decision to switch from birthing at a birth centre to birthing at home, the importance of feeling safe throughout pregnancy (and birth) and why it’s important to trust yourself, your baby and your body.
Sammy also highlights why it’s key to protect yourself from negative people and comments while pregnant, and describes how creating a peaceful, calm and dark birth space, helped her birth her daughter Ayla into the world. Sammy has a beautiful way of articulating her experience, so I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening in!
