Have you ever marveled at the sheer unpredictability of life, especially when it comes to the momentous journey of bringing new life into the world? Today on the podcast, we sit with Rachel, mom of 5 boys!   Her first ended up being a hospital birth, although it was a planned home birth.  Two home births following that, a Holly No.7 Birth Center Birth, and then finally another home birth.  

She describes every experience as amazing and life changing and says she wouldn't change a thing.  Her babies have ranged from 39 weeks gestation, to 42.  From 8 pounds to 10 pounds.  She has had 2 water births.  She was a teen mom.  She has had three different Maine Midwives and describes every single part of each pregnancy to each birth as magical.  

MyMaine Birth is a space where we share the real life stories of families and their unique birth experiences in the beautiful state of Maine.  From our state’s biggest hospitals to Birth Center Births, and home births, every birth story deserves to be heard and celebrated.  Whether you are a soon to be mom, a seasoned mother, or simply interested in the world of birth, these episodes are for you.
